LaunchED: Picture of the Week
Elementary Field Trip to the SVVSD Innovation Center
We had an incredible field trip today at the St Vrain Valley Schools Innovation Center! This optional field trip was made available to our elementary students in LaunchED as a way to experience the power of hands-on S.T.E.A.M. (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math) learning! Students participated in activities ranging from robotics challenges, to design thinking, to building and creative learning opportunities. Our LaunchED students are innovators and this trip helped our students shine as learners and leaders.
Thank you to Ms. Legrand, Mr. Neiswander, Ms. Marshall and our school admin team and the folks at the SVVSD Innovation Center for making this an incredible field trip!
