πŸš€πŸ”¬ STEM Camp Day 2 was full of exciting experiments and friendly competition! πŸŽ‰

Today, our TRIO Talent Search STEM Camp students put their STEM skills to the test with several hands-on activities led by Rich from Woven Technologies.

Students launched bottle rockets using film canisters, water, and Alka-Seltzer, learning about chemical reactions and the science behind propulsion. πŸš€ They also tested pH levels and explored how scientists measure acidity and alkalinity in different substances.

To top it all off, students participated in a Robotic Hand Contest, putting the robotic hands they created to the test in a fun engineering challenge! πŸ€–

It was another day filled with creativity, problem-solving, and discovery. We can't wait to see what exciting activities tomorrow will bring!
