The media center was busy this week with Squishy Circuits, book club and our first lunch & learn. Sixt
h, Seventh &
Eighth grade tech clubs learned how open and closed circuits work by building and designing their own circuits. Using a Squishy Circuits kit, students connected their battery power pack to a special homemade conductive playdoh that has extra salt added to the recipe. Students chose colored LED lights, sensors, buzzers and motors to complete the circuit. Their one of a kind creations were quite creative. The students have been challenged to create an invention with their Squishy Circuits for the next tech club!
Lunch & Learns will be offered every two weeks on Wednesdays in the Think Lab. Everyone is invited to attend. This week we learned some Google Tips & Tricks! Click on the graphic below to see the presentation.

Book club met on Friday to start the book Fish by L. S. Matthews. The book highlights a family’s struggle as they are forced to leave their homeland. Students spent time discussing the topic of modern refugees and the challenges they face.
