Middle school STEM students model pandemics and showcase hands-on projects
Summary
William Monroe Middle School STEM teacher Anne Feasley and students described class projects including a GreenViz pandemic simulation, raised garden beds and hands-on engineering tasks; student presenters explained methods and classroom learning goals.
STEM teacher Anne Feasley told the board her class emphasizes student-driven investigations that let learners take a project from question through hypothesis to results. She highlighted an in-house science fair and cross-disciplinary projects linking math and art (Fibonacci-based design), and said students are given autonomy to design experiments and prototypes.
A student presenter described using a program called GreenViz to simulate disease spread: “Using the program, we were able to simulate a pandemic…we were able to look at how exactly viruses move through airports,” the student said (student speaker 15). Board members responded positively to the hands-on work; the presentation emphasized experiential learning and skills in engineering, technology and scientific thinking.
