Work in the STEAM Lab- October 2023
Various grades come into the STEAM Lab to focus on many aspects of STEAM education. Grades 3 and 4 are currently focusing on Structural Engineering, while Grade 5 is using thier knowledge of space from the Amplify curriculum to create dioramas. 
STEAM in Room 3-311
Class 3-311 created towers out of candy pumpkins and toothpicks in order to learn about structural engineering. They realized different shapes and heights of a structure allow for varying levels of stability and strength.

District 20 STEAM Expo-2024
Students in class 8-508 and3-303 represented P.S./I.S. 192 at the District 20 STEAM Expo this year. Grade 8 students created roller coasters using recycled materials and masking tape, while grade 3 students studied animal adaptations and created a new animal based on the environment an existing animal was moved to. Grade 8 and grade 3 both worked on these projects during the STEAM period with Mrs. Garland. Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Dipaolo accompanied the students in Mrs. Garland's absents along with Mr. Muscarelle who is so supportive of our schools STEAM program.
