Santa Rita’s STEM Expo invites students in grades TK-6 to participate!

Santa Rita’s STEM Expo invites students in grades TK-6 to participate! While engaging in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) projects, students will have an opportunity to design hands-on projects while exploring just how fun STEM can be! This event lends itself to a myriad of learning experiences: within the class or at home, working individually or collaboratively with peers or with adults, and amongst a wide range of STEM categories including: Rube Goldberg, Invention, Engineering (Reverse), Engineering (Robotics), Scientific Inquiry, and Wearable Designs. Ultimately, students will get a chance to showcase their STEM work in a fun and unique venue, with learning opportunities for the entire family.

Santa Rita will be hosting the STEM Expo evening showcase on Wednesday, March 1st from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. 

 

To participate in the STEM Expo, please follow these steps:

STEP 1: PROJECT IDEA

Has your child ever asked questions like, “I wonder why…?” or “What if…?” What a great way to start exploring topics for your child’s project! Explore the LASD STEM Expo website (tinyurl.com/StemExpoLASD) for some ideas!

STEP 2: STUDENT INTENT TO PARTICIPATE FORM

Complete the Student Intent to Participate, found online, deadline by Wednesday, Feb. 15th.

STEP 3: SUBMIT AND PRESENT PROJECT AT THE EXPO

Students will be asked to set up the materials the morning before. On the day of the event, students will have an opportunity to have their work reviewed by a panel of guests who will ask questions related to the entry. All entries submitted must be taken home after the evening showcase. 

Thank you PTA and LAEF for all the support to make this event possible!

Sincerely,

Grace Choi, LASD Instructional Support Teacher
