🚀 Weekly STEM Challenge Highlights from the FCES Makerspace with Mrs. Meyer! 🛠️
Our young engineers have been hard at work designing, testing, and building this week! Check out what our students tackled in the Makerspace:
🏢 2nd Grade Skyscraper Challenge
Students put their architectural skills to the test by constructing skyscrapers at least 12 inches tall that could hold 10 "people" (cubes) without tipping over!
📚 4th Grade Bookshelf Challenge
Engineers designed and built 2-level bookshelves sturdy enough to support 10 "books" (cubes)!
🏀 5th Grade Basketball Hoop Challenge
Creativity was on full display as students built 7-inch tabletop basketball hoops complete with a custom ball!
🌟 Special Student Spotlight 🌟
A huge shoutout to Axel in Mrs. Naylor’s 4th-grade class! Axel completed his 2-level bookshelf challenge using ZERO tape! Talk about master-level structural engineering! 👏🎉
Keep up the incredible problem-solving and creativity, FCES! What will we build next? 💡✨

💡🧱 What Do You Do With an Idea? 🧱💡
Our second graders had a creative and inspiring time in the Farmington Central Elementary Library! 📚✨
We read What Do You Do With an Idea? by Kobi Yamada and talked about how ideas can start out small, but when we believe in them, nurture them, and give them a chance, they can grow into something amazing. The story reminds us that we shouldn’t be afraid to share our ideas or let others tell us that they aren’t good enough. Sometimes, the best ideas are the ones that are completely our own! 💭❤️
Then it was time to put those ideas into action! 🧱🚀
Our second graders were given a simple challenge: Come up with ANY idea you want and build it with LEGOs! There were no right or wrong answers and no example to copy. They had the freedom to imagine, create, problem-solve, and bring their own ideas to life.
And WOW…look what they created! 🤩
From imaginative inventions to unique creations, these students showed us that when you give kids the freedom to dream and create, their ideas can take them anywhere! 🌟
Take a look at some of their amazing LEGO creations! 💡🧱❤️

🔵✨ Kindergarten is Making Their Mark! ✨🔵
The Farmington Central Elementary Library celebrated International Dot Day by reading The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds with our kindergarten friends! 📚💜
