After more than 10 years of success with its annual Science Fair, Riverside School has expanded this event to include Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). STEM skills are extremely important for 21st Century citizens, and this broader approach will allow students to explore many different kinds of questions about the world they live in.
A STEM Fair Open House will be held for Riverside School families Tuesday, March 21 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Students will also present their projects to their classes the following school day. More than 160 students from grades K-5 have chosen to participate in this PTA-sponsored event.
Principal Christopher Weiss has been extremely supportive of this annual event. “Our school has a strong focus on innovation, whether it’s through our use of technology in the classroom or our Genius Hour, during which students can freely explore topics of their own interest. The STEM Fair is an exciting opportunity for students to think creatively and sharpen their STEM skills as they experiment or develop solutions to real-world problems.”
