iLEAD Antelope Valley’s 2nd Grade STEM Projects

Ms. Basty’s learners were given a challenge for STEM last week. Because iLEAD Antelope Valley is a school that values voice and choice, learners chose which challenge they would like to participate in. These challenges included creating a device that could float in water, creating a fairy garden, making a marble maze, creating objects that could balance in their hands, etc. Our learners did an amazing job as engineers to create amazing works of art! We are very proud of our iLEADers!

Apply to Join a DreamUp to Space Launch Team!

iLEAD Antelope Valley’s learners in grades 5 and up are invited to apply to join one of two DreamUp to Space Launch Teams, featuring experiments designed by learners at SCVi and iLEAD Exploration!

Selected team members will run experiments in preparation for the actual experiments that will launch to space to be run by astronauts on the International Space Station with a target date of March 2021.

Team members will collaborate with facilitators and mentors at each stage. They’ll also be involved in promoting their mission, including creating videos and writing blogs. They’ll fund-raise for experiment-related expenses as well as the chance to travel with their families to Kennedy Space Center, where they could present their experiment and watch it blast to space!

Watch our DreamUp to Space Launch Teams’ videos to understand more about the experiments:

Together Tuesdays: Share Your Photos and Stories!

Greetings, iLEAD community,

Last spring, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced our learning community to physically distance, we launched a weekly campaign with the goal to reunite our facilitators and families and lift their spirits. Every week, a new Together Tuesday video featured photos of families, learners, and staff throughout the iLEAD nation — a reminder that we’re all in this together.

Now, as we begin a new school year with distance learning, Together Tuesdays will be making a comeback, now twice monthly. We’d love to see your contributions.

The first video of the 2020-21 school year will go live on September 15. To ensure your submissions are included, please click here to submit your photos. Photos received by the Friday before each Together Tuesday are eligible to be included.

We’re all in this together, and we can’t wait to see your photos!

If you have any questions, simply reply to stories@ileadschools.org.

Sincerely,
The iLEAD Team
