STEAM Expo

The annual Crow Island STEAM Expo allows our students a chance to explore their interests in science, technology, engineering, and math. The arts/design thinking will be integrated throughout. Participation is optional, but we find that the majority of our 2nd-4th grade students choose to join in the fun.

Our annual STEAM Expo will be held on February 10th & 11th, 2022:

Thursday, February 10th, 9:30 – 10:30AM – 3rd Grade
9:30 – 10:00AM: Flynn and Ambrose students will present their projects
10:00 – 10:30AM: Keenan and Brody students will present their projects

Thursday, February 10th, 1:00 – 2:00PM – 4th Grade
1:00 – 1:30PM: Dunn and Dechovitz students will present their projects
1:30 – 2:00PM: Dugo students will present their projects

Friday, February 11th, 9:30 – 10:30AM – 2nd Grade
9:30 – 10:00AM: Elliott and Martin students will present their projects
10:00 – 10:30AM: Petersen students will present their projects

STEAM Expo Projects & Registration:

  • Register HERE using this Google Form
  • Students are to be the primary owner of their project. They have the ability to execute these projects on their own. Students are naturally curious and creative. 
  • PLEASE REFRAIN FROM DOING THE PROJECT FOR YOUR CHILD.
  • Each project should start with a question that needs an answer or a problem that needs a solution. 
    • SCIENCE: Ask a question and the project answers that question (experiment or research)
    • ENGINEERING: Think of a problem and the project provides a solution (your own engineering challenge, the 2019 Engineering Challenge, or research)
    • MATH: Ask a question  and the project explores/answers the question
    • TECHNOLOGY: Think of a problem or goal and design a solution (coding project)
  • Our STEAM Expo VALUES PROCESS OVER PRODUCT  
  • Students will be thinking, asking, discovering, and creating in their own individual ways and their final products will reflect that.
  • All students will work on projects individually. No partners this year.

What are the STEAM Expo Guidelines?

  • Please take the time to read the guideline details!  Click here for the 2022 STEAM Expo Guidelines and Details 
  • The guidelines have been put in place to assure we have a safe and successful Expo. In the past, we have had students disappointed because their projects did not follow the proper guidelines and therefore, could not be displayed in their entirety.
  • Click this link for more information on the: Engineering Design Process, Scientific Method, and Research Project Steps

Questions?

  • Do students have questions about their STEAM projects? You can ask Jean Bierner, Crow Island’s Science Facilitator, Anne Hazelwood, Crow Island’s Math Facilitator or Amy Banas, Crow Island’s Technology Integration Specialist.
  • Any additional questions can be directed to STEAM Expo Committee Chair Cynthia Rapp at [email protected]
