Lynbrook middle schoolers innovate with STEAM projects

Three students show off their creations. thumbnail265820

Students at both Lynbrook North and South Middle Schools recently put their creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking skills to the test through an exciting series of hands-on projects developed in their schools’ STEAM Labs.

Under the guidance of Peter McNally at North Middle School and James Fanning at South Middle School, students were encouraged to think outside the box as they brainstormed, designed and built their own unique creations. The initiative aimed to deepen students’ understanding of science, technology, engineering, art and math through experiential learning and real-world application.

Students began the process by identifying challenges or needs, then collaborated in teams to generate ideas and explore possible solutions. Using a variety of materials — including cardboard, paper, tape, popsicle sticks and recycled objects — they transformed their ideas into physical prototypes. Projects ranged from intricate architectural models and bridges to simple machines and interactive games.

Throughout the process, students demonstrated the core skills central to STEAM education. They analyzed problems, tested ideas and refined their designs based on trial and error. The result was not only a wide range of imaginative projects, but also a boost in students’ confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

“Our STEAM Lab gives students a space to experiment and learn from failure, which is essential for developing critical thinking,” Mr. McNally said. “It’s inspiring to see how they push themselves to come up with innovative solutions.”

James Fanning echoed that sentiment: “The students aren’t just building projects — they’re learning how to think creatively, collaborate effectively and solve problems in ways that will serve them far beyond the classroom.”

The success of the program highlights the importance of STEAM education in preparing students for the future — and just how powerful learning can be when imagination leads the way. #OwlProud #OwlLearns
