We have a lot of respect for our bridges in @Pittsburgh and the engineers who designed them! 🌉🏗️
Learning design and collaboration, our third graders built popsicle stick bridges in STEAM...and today, they got to find out just how much weight their bridges could hold. Whether their group's project had the strength of a Lion or snapped like a twig, the students all learned a

IS STEAM classes have been putting on their thinking caps and developing VERY creative ideas and prototypes for potential "investors." Whether you're too tired to cut fruit, brush your cat, or even dunk your Oreos, there's an invention for that! Need to catch a spider or eat

Mornings are the best time to code! At Programming and Pastries, families programmed cards on @scratch and practiced critical thinking skills on @breakoutEDU. This brain power was fueled by donuts and coffee, of course! 🍩☕️💻 @RemakeDays #RemakedaysSWPA #RLD10 @SFISLions

Hey @amazon, if you need help designing delivery carriers for your drones, we have some 3rd graders who are ready to share their expertise! @SFISLions 🥚🍳
It's an Egg-cellent time of year to test the laws of physics by dropping eggs from high places. The HS physics classes and the IS STEAM classes all worked to construct an apparatus to save their egg when dropped to the ground (from the stadium bleachers for physics and from the

3rd Grade @GirlsWhoCode has been hard at work, sewing backpacks for their stuffies! Inside these backpacks, you'll find handmade mini-notebooks, as well as a @microbit_edu! When the accelerometer turns, different songs play🎶 It makes perfect soundtrack for a story! @SFISLions

It's @GirlsWhoCode Club Season! 3rd graders are becoming Micro:Bit masters. They programmed their Micro:bit to record each other's votes when Button A or Button B is pressed. Interested in seeing the results? Just shake the Micro:bit! Which buttons would you choose? 💻@SFISLions

We are so proud of our Lion Learners and their natural disaster exhibits! Through their projects, they were able to teach others about safety in emergencies! 💚🤍
At the IS, STEAM classes in grades 3 and 5 are creating dioramas depicting natural disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and blizzards. They've been combining classes to showcase their work for one another. Today it was Mr.

We had a blast sharing our Amusement Park Ride research with our visitors! It is amazing how @Kenny_Kangaroo and amusement park engineers use simple machines, forces, and motion in their thrilling rides!
Happy to welcome guests from 11 regional districts to the Intermediate School today to observe our Lion learners and educators incorporating @PGHWorldofWork and RIASEC in our classrooms! Proud to be a leader with this career-focused curriculum framework. #SFLionPride

Kennywood is the perfect place to gather research on simple machines, forces, and motion! Soon, 4th graders will apply that knowledge to engineer their own amusement park rides. Stay tuned for the theme park reveals!! @SFISLions @Kenny_Kangaroo 🎢
