Spaght Science and Communications Magnet is wrapping up their two week coding camp for students. Spaght is the only school in Kansas who has the Code to the Future program, a comprehensive curriculum that immerses students in computer science.

During camp, which expands on what they've learned during the year, students coded their own video games using Scratch and then created code to control their LEGO builds.

Spaght Science and Communications Magnet is the only school in the state of Kansas who has a partnership with Code to the Future. Spaght had their second school-wide showcase today, in which students at every grade level demonstrated their computer science and coding knowledge to parents, BOE members, and other district departments.

The addition of a STEM teacher at Mueller Aerospace and Engineering Discovery Magnet has resulted in increased learning and engagement. While the students continue to learn science and engineering concepts in their core classes, they also have a STEM special once a week that further enriches their understanding of the Engineering theme.

Here, 1st graders learned about states of matter by combining sodium bicarbonate tablets with water in rockets that they constructed out of film canisters. The chemical reaction produced a gas, that once expanded, popped the lids off and launched the rockets skyward.
