Madison County SWCD and Ronny Raindrop© attended Stockbridge Valley Central School for their 4th annual STEAM Ahead in the Valley. This year, they were diving deep into the theme “World Seas and Waterways”. From the historic local streams in the community to the vast, mysterious reaches of the open ocean. Approximately 300 people attended this high-energy, hands-on event designed for families and community members of all ages.
The District’s theme was Barnyard Engineer: The Manure Challenge. Students were given “building materials” such as craft sticks, aluminum foil, and straws to build a storage pit or barnyard with the goal that when you sprayed a little water the cocoa paste “manure” doesn’t wash into the nearby blue yarn “stream”. The young engineers took their role very seriously.
