The Lynbrook Public School District proudly hosted its annual Women in STEAM event on May 18. It was a wonderful evening where students in grades 4-8 came to the high school to meet extraordinary women who work in STEAM related careers.

This year’s theme was Lynbrook Pathways, which highlighted the clubs and class opportunities Lynbrook High School offers its students to help prepare them for STEAM-related fields. Presenters for the evening shared their expertise on the science of reading, forensic science, fire prevention, construction and marine biology. Presenters had boards, videos and tools that helped to teach about the skills needed in each of the STEAM-related careers. Additionally, the evening highlighted when our own high school students gave the younger students a tour of the science research facilities in the high school and spoke of their current projects.

Following the presentations, students participated in a hands-on learning activity called SCAMPER. SCAMPER is a technique used to test an idea during the invention process. Students took everyday items and used them to go through the SCAMPER technique to make changes. The evening concluded with a photo-op, where students proudly shared their designs in a fun photo booth.
