Beaver Run Elementary Students Explore STEM with Newton Street Community Center Visit

SALISBURY, Md., — Second graders at Beaver Run Elementary School explored science, technology, engineering, and math during a visit from the Newton Street Community Center team, according to a post on the City of Salisbury, Maryland Facebook page.
Students rotated through four interactive stations designed to spark curiosity and problem-solving. At one station, they programmed Indy Cars to follow color-coded tracks.
Another station used Rok Blocks to teach principles of structure, balance, and load distribution. Students also learned coding and robotics by directing Sphero Bolt robots along planned paths, and experimented with electricity and conductivity through the Makey-Makey Music Lab, creating music with lead drawings.
“The Community Relations Team had a wonderful experience collaborating with the students,” said Rachel Manning, Manager of Community Relations. “It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm and engagement.” The Newton Street Community Center encourages local families to continue exploring STEM at its STEM Lab, where students can learn and innovate year-round. The Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation provided the equipment for the visit, and Beaver Run Elementary hosted the team for the event.
