Berkley School District issued the following announcement on Mar 7.
During the week of February 28, every Berkley 6th grade student had the opportunity to explore Oakland Schools’ STEMi. STEMi is a 1,000 square foot mobile innovation station containing high tech, industry grade, interactive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) experiences. Students rotated through four stations on the STEMi.
- Station 1: Collaborative Robots: Students worked to physically program a collaborative robot to perform pick and place task.
- Station 2: Autonomous Vehicles: Students worked with autonomous vehicles on a course and learned about sensing and vehicle communication.
- Station 3: Xtended Reality: Students used mixed reality headsets to explore ways they could interact with virtual reality layered into their physical environment.
- Station 4: Smart Manufacturing: Students used ZSpace, an artificial and virtual reality learning experience, to design custom objects or creatures in 3D.
The STEMi is rotating through all 28 districts in Oakland County and is part of a 5 year project so it will return to Berkley Schools in upcoming years to continue to build STEM career readiness!
