 Hey STEM NS followers, today we having another productive meeting in our school computer lab and (once again) I am filling in for our usual blogger who is otherwise occupied at the moment. More people attended our meeting today, and are working very hard on projects and planning morning announcements to broadcast future events. One member is adding interesting captions beneath photos that are posted on the STEM NS website, that our camera man shot of staff and students at BSS. One group is updating our site so that STEM NS website so that viewers can see what new and soon to come events. Another member is creating online fliers to advertise upcoming events, such as our LEGO group for grades 1-4 and that we need you to donate your old LEGO's that you don't need anymore. 

Hope you keep reading the blogs so that we can keep you up-to-date with future events and what new. : )

Hey  guys,


Frankie – Do  you hate working with pencil and paper? Would you rather use an iPad?  Think about that!  If you
donate money to STEM NS, even as little as $5.00 per person, we could bring more iPads and robots to our
school.  But, if you bring more – we could buy even more robots and iPads. 
You might be thinking, “WHO CARE ABOUT IT?”   Essay…boom, done in 10 minutes times the speed with an
iPad.

 Batool – Tired of the same routine over and over again? Well, that can end soon if we work  together to raise enough money.  New technology of today can help us learn better.  It’s a shame to not be able to use the new technology of today in school because it can be very helpful…today and tomorrow.

 
Bradley – Are  you guys sick of normal school work?  What if there was a way to make school work ten times more fun than it is  now?  Remember, if we all donate a small amount of money we can make this dream come  true!

 
Leela – Does  your hand ever get hurt from writing?  I know mine does, and I totally hate it.  I’ll admit that I learn more from  computers and things like that.  Having to sit there and listen to the teacher explain.   I mean, that’s sometimes hard for me ato actually get much in my head so iPads and robots could really help.   And there might be more people like me in our school!  
 

Frankie
– And remember, on February 29th we are having our first annual UNPLUGGED  DAY!  From sun up to sun down we
will go without technology and all pledges collected will go to STEM NS.  Get PUMPED!



All - iPads
and Robots!
