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.
