STEM/Robotics & Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center
Special thanks to our STEM partner, Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center, for hosting a robotics workshop for our junior high students! Students were able to control and program 3 different robots: ABB robot picked up a cup with wooden balls and poured them into another cup, Yaskawa Motoman robot picked up blocks and moved them, and the FANUC robot moved blocks and drew pictures. Thank you to Mr. Jim Simmering and Mrs. Bethany Frazer for making this opportunity possible! #CareerCenterSTEM #ACSRobotics

This project assisted with Mr. Davis and Mrs. Shenberger's food security project to better prepare their 4th and 5th grade students on how to make food without key ingredients!
STEM & Ashland County Solid Waste & Recycling Center
Special thanks to Mrs. Nancy Earick for her conservation and recycling instruction at ACS! Students wanted to say thank you by making cards and creating a Scratch program that informs others about recycling! Thank you to the Ashland County Solid WastAshland County Solid Waste & Recycling Center

STEM 3D Prototypes, Dick Goddard, Vicki Stracensky, Wise on Weather!
Special thanks to Emmy award-winning director and national award-winning author, Vicki Stracensky, for her flash flood instruction with the NOAA grant for our 6th through 8th graders! Students learned about Dick Goddard and flash flood safety. Students constructed 3D prototypes using TinkerCAD to help someone survive a flash flood. Vicki Stracensky also worked with Mrs. Miller's Kindergarten class. Students conducted weather experiments relating to her book, "Wise on Weather!", that was illustrated by meteorologist, Dick Goddard. Students learned about tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods. We also received a special visit from the book's mascot, WOO (Wise Old Owl)! www.wiseonweather.com #STEMNOAA #WiseOnWeatherAtACS #SafetyFirst
STEM & NASA
Mrs. Beth Shenberger and Mrs. Beth Szijarto received NASA STEM PBL training! They implemented NASA content solutions involving fresh water, soil moisture, and melting sea ice/sea level changes. Mrs. Beth Shenberger measured the soil tanks that simulate terrain on the Moon and Mars. New rover wheel prototypes and digging tools are tested within the Simulated Lunar Operations Slope Lab. #NASAPBL #ACSSTEMPD
STEM & GVIS Graphics & Visualization
Mrs. Beth Shenberger and Mrs. Bethany Frazer were part of the Moon to Mars training with computational thinking and engineering models at NASA today! They also engaged through virtual reality at the GVIS Graphics and Visualization lab! #NASAComputationalLearning #ACSSTEM
