First STEM Club Meeting

Monday December 10th - 8th Period.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEM Club coming to SMS

The Technology department will be working with science and math teachers to form a STEM club.

Details are still being worked out. The club will take place after school as well as during selected period 8 classes. Topics to include drone and robot courses to help kids learn to code in a fun and creative way. The club will build upon Somerset Middle School’s mission to introduce coding in a way that is relevant to any child’s interests–be it robotics, Minecraft, or advanced text languages.

The goal is to allow kids to program drones and robots as they simultaneously learn to code and reinforce subjects they currently learn at school. When they program a drone to navigate through an obstacle course for example, they practice geometry and angles.

For further details please speak with someone from the Engineering / Technology Dept
