On Monday, May 13, 2024, Riddle Elementary School hosted its first STEAM Family Night! Families were able to participate in a variety of activities that utilized the Engineering Design Process to solve a problem. The activities were led by the Riddle STEAM Club, which is a group of fourth and fifth grade students, who display leadership qualities and strive for academic excellence. At the close of the evening, a Sphero Mini STEAM Kit was raffled to families, and the winner was Maxine Elder, a second grade student in Mrs. Boyer's classroom. Fun was had by all as they used their critical thinking skills to problem solve! ✨👨👩👧👦🔧
