Virtual Visit at the Bronx School (2)February 16, 2023She Leads STEM returned to the Bronx School, a school for elementary level special education children, after an incredible first event! We worked with multiple classrooms, this time, about all things engineering! Students started the event by building positivity and self-confidence, which are essential for social-emotional learning. Then, they learned more about what it means to be an engineer, being creative and solving problems in the world around us. They got to be engineers for the day by building post-it note towers! Who can build the tallest building?
