Last night, DeTour Area Schools and the DeTour Arts and Technology Academy were thrilled to host an engaging Elementary STEM and Math Night featuring Dr. Toni Stith, Assistant Professor of Education at the College of Great Lakes Ecology and Education at Lake Superior State University. Dr. Stith and her team of LSSU college students led hands-on guided activities for our K–6 students.
From interactive games and puzzles to creative challenges, each station was designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and show just how fun and exciting STEM and math can be. 21 students attended along with parents and guardians.
The activities intentionally highlighted important skills including communication, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and the value of rethinking failure as part of the learning process. Students left with big smiles, positive feedback, and a stronger sense of wonder about the STEM fields.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Stith and her outstanding team for sharing their time, expertise, and enthusiasm with our community.
We're grateful for the partnership and look forward to future opportunities to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers and innovators.
