iLEAD ANTELOPE VALLEY NEWS & EVENTS
Dear Families,
What happens when you give young engineers plastic eggs and Play-Doh? Amazing solutions! Last Thursday’s Spring Engineering Design Challenge tasked learners with building a tall perch to keep a chick away from a sneaky fox. iLEAD AV Exploration learners navigated the engineering process brilliantly and came up with some truly innovative designs!
At iLEAD AV Exploration, we are dedicated to personalized attention, recognizing that every learner has unique strengths and needs. Our mission, “Free to think. Inspired to lead,” inspires learners to explore their passions through project-based learning and individualized learning plans. We’re looking forward to an inspiring week ahead!
If you have any questions for our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to 661-429-3757 or info.exploration@ileadav.org. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected!
With gratitude,
Terri Budke
iLEAD AV Exploration Director
