NICC hosted "Girls in Engineering" last week and the day was filled with exciting activities, including a group escape room game that combined chemistry, coding, engineering, and building. It was impressive to see how well the girls worked together with students from other schools that they did not know. After the escape room, they had three hands-on stations. The girls created their own slime, ran virtual reality machines/tools, and designed a box to protect a pringle during various tests. #drexlerms #wdbqschools
🎳 Learning Beyond the Classroom!
Last Tuesday our Leadership Class students headed to Cobra Lanes in Farley with our Pathways and Essentials Science/Social Studies students for a fun afternoon of bowling!https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/western_dubuque_schools_ar/live_feed_image/image/25759447/large_processed-BDD1FC33-F3F5-4658-9EC4-085D1736FF32.jpeg
This experience was more than just a great time—it was a meaningful opportunity for students to build connections, strengthen social skills, and engage in a collaborative, inclusive environment outside of the classroom, and have so much fun together!
We loved hearing about all the strikes, spares, and smiles! 😊 #drexlerms #wdbqschools
