On Tuesday, Sonic announced that three North Nodaway high school teachers had received funding for STEM projects for the high school. Mr. Johnson received funding for a 3D printing project. Mr. Trautz got funding for an engineering and applied digital project. Mrs. Frueh got funding for a women in STEM project. The project was done in conjunction with Donors Choose, a crowdfunding site which funds schools.
Mrs. Frueh’s project involves learning the basics of coding and robotics along with learning about women in the STEM field.
Mr. Trautz’s project involves teaching students how to use spheros and micros. Spheros is a robotics kit, while micros is an educational video game which teaches students from 5th through 6th grade about science. Skills developed through these kits are used by high-paying employers such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple. Google has a curriculum that specifically requests the technology. A donor donated to this project in memory of Greg Thompson.
Mr. Johnson’s project involves teaching students how to use a 3D printer along with studying women in STEM. Students will learn how to design, analyze, 3D print, and test products in a cross curricular project with the science and social studies classrooms.
All three projects have been fully funded.
