7th & 8th grade students in 3D printing class researched then designed flying discs for a flight distance challenge. Individual student grades were based on the flight distance of their disc. Each student needed to not only design their own disc in a computer CAD program, but also select the angle to launch their disc. Wind was a factor this year on the first day, but on the second day winds were minimal. Pictured are some students holding their discs prior to a launch, and another class finding their discs after a launch. No new distance records were set this year, but we did have a few discs fly over 200 feet!

Today, 5th graders learned about their learning styles! Students took a learning style survey to find out how they learn best. Then they talked about careers that would fit those styles. Students then were able to research more about these careers while learning about other ones as well.

Thankful for the collaboration and opportunities our students have once they get to Badger…but it all starts with us as a K-8 District. Today, our Readiness Team was able to tour Badger’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and classes with their CTE Coordinator Jake Popanda. HUGE thank you to Mr. Popanda for taking time out of his day to spend it with us!! Seeing what Badger has to offer allows us to dig deeper into what we need to showcase and prepare our students for to get them career and community ready. Digging in to have kids understand and discover their own skills and attributes allows them to see the relevance in their educational growth! Thank you to all those that made this possible and to the Readiness Team for taking this time to dig deeper into our readiness work to bring back to the whole group to work towards our next steps to continue to Grow into Greatness.
