Sophomores in the Production Academy’s Engineering Pathway & Haskell STEAM students raced handmade cardboard canoes at Levings Lake! They designed, engineered, & built their boats using only cardboard & duct tape, then competed to see which was the fastest & stayed afloat.
Innovation & creativity were on display at Haskell's Fifth Grade Maker Expo! Students worked in teams to research, plan, & build carnival-style capstone projects using the engineering design process. They shared lessons learned, challenges faced, & real-world connections.
