On Jan. 9, innovation came to life during the West Hempstead Union Free School District’s annual STEMposium. Students displayed incredible projects tackling real-world challenges, from environmental water testing to African elephant conversation.
The STEMposium allowed West Hempstead Secondary School’s students to explore one of two pathways: the scientific method or engineering design. Students spent three months developing either an engineering prototype or a conclusion based in the scientific method.
Students in Science 7 and 8 classes, including Living Environment, Earth Science, Chemistry and Physics, took part in this competition.
Families and district administrators in attendance had the opportunity to view the students’ in-depth presentations. Afterward, the district held an awards ceremony in the school’s auditorium.
