STEM was in full force this April.

From rocket builds and space-themed learning at Sherwood, to coding with Dash and Sphero indi robots, to hands-on exploration with Hemlock Semiconductor, students across our region were fully engaged in thinking, building, and problem-solving.

These are the moments that spark curiosity and show students what’s possible.

Huge thanks to Westdale, Sherwood Elementary, and Saginaw STEM for partnering with SISD to make these experiences happen.

Semiconductor Saturday was a great example of what can happen when organizations come together to create meaningful, hands on learning experiences for students.

Students used coding to guide robots through processes inspired by Hemlock Semiconductor, connecting real world industry to STEM learning. #SaginawISD #OurStory
