The Trillium Montessori community recently enjoyed diving into the world of STEAM through our Apple Tower experiment. Our students, armed with nothing more than apples, straws, tape, newspaper, and card stock, embarked on an exciting hands-on learning journey. The task at hand? To construct a tower capable of supporting an apple!
Engrossed in the challenge, the students engineered inventive structures, applying core STEAM principles and practical life skills in the process. The students excitedly explored their innovative ideas, tried out their creative strategies, and showed a lot of determination – all hallmarks of our Montessori learning.
The fruits of this engaging experience were towers of varying shapes and sizes, each demonstrating our students’ original thinking and problem-solving prowess. More importantly, the students learned from each other, developing vital collaboration and communication skills.
The Apple Tower event underlined Trillium’s commitment to integrated STEAM education – a core aspect of our holistic approach to learning. We firmly believe in fostering our students’ independence, curiosity, and love for learning through hands-on activities and supportive community collaboration.
Lastly, we’d like to thank all our Trillium families for supporting their creative engineers at home. We genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm.
Stay tuned for more exciting Montessori experiences at Trillium!
