Stark Elementary Collaborates with Bricks 4 Kidz for STEAM Family Night

Janie Stark collaborated with Bricks 4 Kidz for a fun family night of learning using STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) concepts. Students were engaged in a dynamic learning experience that was imaginative, multi-sensory, and entertaining. Students were highly engaged while learning such important topics as laws of motion, gears, torque and friction, robotics, space exploration, and movie making.  During this event students were able to enhance their problem solving skills, foster teamwork and collaboration with their parents and peers, develop an appreciation of how things work and spark their imagination. It was a wonderful evening for the students and parents of Janie Stark!
