What's happening in STEM at Herman J. Russell West End Academy?
STEM in Action
Georgia Chief Science Officers Program
6th graders Abrea Riddick and Khadijah Benton are participating in the Georgia Chief Science Officers Program. The program's goal is to raise up student leaders who are passionate about creating STEM learning opportunities at middle and high schools across Georgia. All participants attend bi-weekly leadership training sessions and work together to develop and implement an action plan for their STEM project. Abrea and Khadijah are starting a STEM Crew Club that brings together neurotypical and neurodiverse students to engage in STEM activities. Their first activity was making Oobleck with students in Ms. Green's class. The girls are looking forward to opening the STEM Crew Club up to more members this month.
