S.T.E.A.M. Discovery Week April 5-9, 2021
“Towering Above”
This past year has been full of challenges. Here at ASM, we want to celebrate our ability to rise above the challenges as we continue to strive towards excellence in all facets of learning and life. Therefore, the theme for this year’s S.T.E.A.M. Week is “Towering Above.” Students will be challenged throughout the week to express their views of this theme through projects in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

ASM Engineering Design Challenge
Towers are built in all shapes and sizes as well as for many different purposes. In this challenge, students will explore how tower design impacts stability and strength.
KG0-KG3: Students will explore examples of towers, how to build towers, materials that can be used in tower building, and then will be challenged to see how tall of a tower they can build.
G1-12: Students will compete within grade levels to see who can build the tallest paper tower. View the introductory video below. Modifications may be allowed at the teacher’s discretion for elementary students.
Winners from each grade level will be announced on Friday, April 9th. The winning projects will be displayed in the main reception and photos will be posted on ASM’s social media pages.
