STEM Program Growing in Cambridge Schools
CAMBRIDGE, Ohio – A laser hums on one side of the room cutting and engraving pieces of cardboard into student-programmed, computer-generated designs. A handful of 3-D printers whir on the other side of the room turning spools of plastic wire into toy cars, rocket components and other items.
Groups of students sit around desks and build programmable, remote-control cars and other robots. Later in the day, the teacher and students in another class head outside to pilot drones around the campus.
It is the STEM program at Cambridge High School where students thrive while learning to use the latest technology in a hands-on STEM lab.
