Middle School Enjoys Science and Engineering Festival in DC!


On April 15, the Middle School traveled down to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center for the national Science and Engineering Festival. Students explored what seemed like acres of floor space covered in over 3,000 hands-on exhibits. Thankfully, the Festival’s layout was organized into different sections, each featuring a specific category – e.g., Energy, Sustainability, Space Exploration, National Security, Health & Medicine, Math & Computer Science, Engineering, Earth Sciences, etc. It was great to see our students in small groups with Festival map in hand, as they canvased the landscape and tested, designed, created, observed, tinkered, and experienced the incredible array of activities.
