Manchester, Dillsboro students participate in STEM Day

“This is the best day of my life," a second grader said.

(AURORA, Ind.) -- Two South Dearborn Community Schools joined together for STEM Enrichment Day, an exciting day of hands-on learning about science, technology, engineering, and math.

Students from Dillsboro and Manchester Elementary Schools participated in various activities

and presentations centered around STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math),

alongside art and literacy. This event extended learning beyond the classroom walls and

provided students with non-traditional experiences that helped them see the multitude of

possibilities that await them in the future.

“As both buildings work toward STEM certification through the IDOE, this was a great opportunity to showcase relationships with community partners and celebrate tremendous growth in STEM teaching and learning”, said Kyle Miller, Dillsboro Elementary School Principal.

“This is the best day of my life!” said Abby, a second grade student, while enjoying the various

activity stations. Activity stations ranged from police dog training, wind and air energy

demonstrations, petting zoos, pH level testing, martial arts, and more.
