STEAM NIGHT AT LINCOLN SCHOOL
Thank You to Meredith Knight and All the Volunteers for making STEAM NIGHT such a spectacular event! 

Full STEAM Ahead on Thursday March 9th 2017 was an amazing success! We had lots of fun programming robots with McCall Middle school students, playing with LEDs with the FIRST robotics team from Winchester, learning how to be green with the Lincoln Green Team, making augmented reality “sandscapes" with the Cambridge Science Festival, tessellating quilt squares with the Studio on the Common, learning about recycling from NE Coca Cola Distributors, imagining buildings with Boston Properties, making squishy circuits with Tufts Center for Engineering Education Outreach, seeing robotic vacuums with iRobot, making amazing math with Russian School of Math, investigating fabrics with Beyond Benign, making rubber band guitars with Winchester Community School of Music, engineering LEGOs with the Winchester Public Library, making balloon rockets with Zaniac, and our favorite and most unlikely activity - stacking red cups into amazing structures and then knocking them down! :)

If you enjoyed the event and want to become involved in STEAM night and other STEAM related activities at Lincoln, please send an email to STEAM co-coordinator Meredith at meredith@mit.edu. We look forward to hearing *your* ideas!
