Laker Nation News  

Laker Nation wishes you a happy STEM Week! Thirty students had the enriching opportunity to work with three Engineering teachers and two Engineers who work in the field. On Thursday, three groups created a loop of five different segments which would carry a ping pong ball around a loop twice, using motors and Lego mindset kits to program their devices. Four hours of planning and building led to three amazing presentations of student-designed engineering. Thank you to all who made this event possible!

Core Value Recipients:
