The 'E' in STEM is in full swing over at Downriver STEM @ Weiss. We have multiple grade levels working in our new E-Lab to collaborate, engineer, and create models that solve and are related to real world problems. So far, students have been engineering plant packages that can support the needs of plants as they are transported from one place to another over several days. In addition, we have a group of students who are building, testing, and redesigning solar ovens. It is exciting to see our Wildcat students work together and push their thinking and apply their knowledge to the real world.

Downriver STEM @ Weiss had their first Drama Club performance this winter. The students did a wonderful job with Hansel and Gretel and the play was enjoyed by all who attended. A huge shout out goes to the students and parent volunteers who spent many Fridays during the fall preparing for this special show. Additionally, a number of Carlson High School students helped by building the props: Olivia Hagen, Carley Engstrom, Adam Brown, Zach Polakowski, Jonathan Yap, Devin Gilliam, Trent Mills, and Athena Grias.
