Five Clayton Ridge students participated in Code STEM day at Keystone AEA in Elkader. STEM is an acronym referring to the fields of study in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. One fifth, one sixth, two seventh, and eighth grader got to participate in structured experiences like: game design, augmented reality, 3D design and printing, computer programming, graphic design and robotic work. Students used their school computers to facilitate their participation at different stations of their choice. As a team they worked together to design an iteration of the game Monopoly, as well. Together they promoted the game to other groups and had an opportunity to hear others' game ideas as well. It was a full agenda and a great experience for our students. They appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity to experience and learn innovative ways STEM is evolving.
