Ashland Christian School is the recipient of the Governor's Thomas Edison Awards for Excellence in Stem Education and Student Research
CPR Training
Special thanks to our STEM partner, University Hospitals Samaritan Medical Center, for providing CPR training and certification for our middle school students!
STEM & Robotics
Special thanks to our STEM partner, the Ohio State University Extension and Kathy Blackford, for providing robotics instruction for our students at Ashland Christian School! Students are engaged with NXT and WeDo robots by coding functionality, including sensors, to solve problems!
STEM & Recycling
Students in grades K-3 worked on problem based learning to develop solutions to help recycle! We have inventions that include a tower with a slide that has recyclable material fall into a pit, recycling storage systems, a robot that breaks up glass to be used for other purposes, and the "Recycle 9000"! Check out our student prototypes!
STEM & Innovative Dehydrators
Mr. Davis and Mrs. Shenberger's classes continued the Food Security Project with guest, Sandy Welch. Students engineered their prototypes during class to develop innovative dehydrator systems, so as to help food last longer. ACS students are part of the statewide challenge to find solutions to help increase food security. The STEM challenge is important because by the year 2050, it is predicted that farmers will no longer produce enough food to feed the world. #innovativeengineering #foodsecurity2050
STEM & GIS
STEM Accelerated Coding, an Ashland Christian School partner, has provided an opportunity for students to learn GIS. This is the initial ground truthing assessment where ACS students collected data within the field, by using a geospatial app that they created. Additional ground truthing fieldwork and app development will take place this year with Ashland Christian students, to determine land use change and agricultural sustainability in Ashland County!
