Carver students at Marvin Elementary had a real treat last week when they engaged in a STEM activity led by the best in the business: GE Capital! Kayshelene Lyew and her team came bearing putty, wires, and batteries to teach our 4th and 5th graders how to construct simple motors.
Our students jumped in with gusto, amazed by what even simple materials can yield. GE impressed that the same basic principles at play in this activity applied to larger STEM endeavors. In fact, they are the building blocks for the complex work that makes GE Capital a titan of industry. From electronic equipment to massive aircraft engines, invention begins with understanding the little things. It all starts with simple motors.
Thank you to Kay and her team for providing our kids with this experience!
