Watch out, BillbrNye: There are some new science guys and gals in town. Last week, The GoddardbrSchool in Southlake hosted a science fair that ran from Monday through Friday. Studentsbrparticipated in events and experiments ranging from robot races to melon dropsbrand ice cream creation, and every facet of the fair was designed to pique thebrstudents' interest in S.T.E.M. learning.
In addition tobrthe location in Southlake, Goddard schools in Allen, Frisco, Keller andbrMcKinney also hosted fairs. The event was open to the families of currentbrstudents and the families of potential students, and senior director KaylabrHartweg was pleased with the attendance.
“This year webrhad a really great turnout with our in-house families and several outsidebrfamilies,” Hartweg said. “My favorite part was seeing the kids' faces light upbrwhen they watched a car roll down a ramp or watched two colors mix, and thebrparents were super excited to see what their kids had been working on thesebrpast few weeks.”
The fair wasbralso another opportunity for The Goddard School to strengthen students' skillsbrin what it calls “the 4 C's”: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity andbrCritical Thinking.
“We encouragebrthose skills with the fair and in our everyday teaching,” Hartweg said, “because we believe those are 21stbrcentury skills that will prepare them well for the future.”
