Students were able to adjust the height of the basket and the distance of the trebuchet from the hoop. Using trial and error, students tried different distances and heights to see which gave their ball the best chance of going through the hoop. (Footage courtes...

In this SOAR Week activity, Ian Smith, an innovative program specialist who runs our Elementary School Library and STEAM program, demonstrates for pre-kindergarteners some of the basic tenets of programming using a Code & Go robot mouse activity set.

Students built their bots atop motorized bases, which navigated a flat mat using sensors capable of automatically detecting and responding to the light and dark colors of the mat. The first bot to push the other bot off the mat was declared the winner. After each battle, students were given the...

Some MAJOR Braveheart vibes at our cross country program's senior night yesterday as local bagpiper Kevin Angus played his Scottish bagpipes across the course as athletes ran. Swap the gently rolling fields of the Genesee Valley with the mountainous crags of the Scottish Highlands, add a few sheep, some kilts and maybe a claymore or two and you’d never know the difference! Head Coach Josh Willi...
