On March 8th , our 5th graders had an exciting opportunity to put their engineering skills to the test during STEM with a Friend in our MakerSpace ! Led by the EcosySTEM Ambassadors , students learned how engineers design structures to withstand the powerful forces of a storm surge .  Using hands-on materials, teams worked together to build and test their own storm-resistant structures, applying principles of stability, durability, and problem-solving . It was a fantastic experience watching students think like real-world engineers—brainstorming, designing, and making improvements along the way! A huge thank you to the Idaho National Lab for making this event possible through their generous grant. Opportunities like these inspire our students to explore, create, and innovate in STEM!

White Pine’s 6th grade girls recently had an exciting and empowering opportunity to attend the She Can STEM event—an experience designed specifically for female and female-identifying students to explore the world of STEM careers and envision themselves as future innovators, creators, and problem-solvers. The event brought together female STEM professionals from across Idaho to share their career paths, insights, and real-world experiences. Students learned about the many STEM careers available in our own state , and how these professionals are making a difference in their communities every day. After hearing from these inspiring women, students participated in a variety of hands-on, interactive activities that brought STEM concepts to life. From building and experimenting to exploring new technologies, our students had the chance to dive in, get curious, and learn by doing. Opportunities like She Can STEM are so important in helping young learners—especially girls—see that there’s...

  We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from our Robotics Team! Over the weekend, our amazing students competed in the Botball Robotics Competition —and walked away with 2nd Place Overall along with the Engineering Design Award ! 🏆 The Botball program is an international educational robotics competition that challenges middle and high school students to design, build, and program autonomous robots to complete complex tasks on a game board. Unlike remote-controlled robotics competitions, Botball robots must operate entirely on their own, making this a true test of problem-solving, coding, collaboration, and engineering design. Our students have spent months preparing—brainstorming ideas, testing prototypes, debugging code, and refining their designs. Winning the Engineering Design Award is a testament to their thoughtful process, creativity, and technical skill. Their second place finish overall reflects just how hard they worked and how well they collaborated as a team. Rob...
