Whitcomb STEM Week
Whitcomb will be participating in STEM Week October 22 to 29 and will be engaged in grade level STEM lessons created by i2Learning. We have enjoyed an out-pouring of corporate support allowing us to offer every student the i2Learning lessons and a T-Shirt. More details will follow, as well as photos and commentaries, as the week draws near.
Please mark your calendars now for our culminating Showcase and panel of experts on Monday, October 29. Parents and guardians are invited to tour the Showcase celebrating the week's work from 2:40 to 3:30. Students will be available to explain their work. From 3:30 to 4:30 a number of speakers who are currently in STEM professions will share how they became interested in these professions and how families might better support STEM related interests.
