Power of the Pen
Congratulations to Berkshire Power of the Pen writers Anne Reed, Victoria Anderson, Lauren Lappert and Danielle Zilka. The junior high students qualified for and participated in the Power of the Pen regional tournament on Feb. 27 at Kent State University.
Students wrote in three different 40 minute rounds on topics such as “The Mystery” and “The Countdown.” Several writers even ranked first in their rounds of writing.
STEM Club Field Trip
Students from the Burton Elementary School STEM Club went on a trip to Rockwell Automation in Mayfield Heights on Feb. 23 to help them celebrate National Engineers Week. STEM Club members were able to tour the facilities and participate in various activities using their STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills.
The students rotated through four different activities. First, they programmed a Lego robot to follow assorted paths, and then they programmed a conveyor belt machine that used object and metal sensors to control how parts were combined by the conveyor belt.
They also built a structure from popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners to protect an egg. Then they tested it to see how well it held up to shock tests on a vibration platform. Finally, they attended a buzzer activity where each team raced to be the first to answer questions about logo, product branding and product marketing.
