Mars Habitat

Our plan is to encourage girls to explore the universe! We started the year with the movie Hidden Figures-- inspiring students and families to reach for the stars. Now we are bringing space to our campus!

We will build a Mars habitat to simulate what it would take to start a colony on the planet.
We will be researching the planet and making modules for students to learn all about it!
Our goal is to have every student on our campus and our local elementary school get to come and visit!

Reflection of the Year
Go Stem had a brand new team this year. We had a lot of big ideas at the beginning of the year. We quickly found out that its hard to accomplish big ideas without a clear plan.
Our first couple of events were very successful but it was hard to sustain that momentum all year!
We are very proud of our growth and look forward to helping encourage girls to get into stem fields next year too!

For Halloween, we created a challenge that mixed our love for science and spooky festivities. What is one way to throw a pumpkin without using your hands? A catapult! We challenged CPA students to create a pumpkin catapult and see which catapult can throw the pumpkin the farthest.

The winning prizes are: 1st place - Knotts Berry Farm tickets (with two friends); 2nd place - Movie tickets; 3rd place - Free Dress day and a special lunch.

We started off by making a presentation to explain the challenge, this presentation contained a video that showed how to create a catapult.The next step was to show this presentation to the students around our school. (Presentation) After doing so, many people signed up for the challenge!


While building the catapult we faced many challenges in the design process such as the catapult not being the right angle for the Pumpkin (Orange) to be launched in the air.

The trip to Knotts was fun we all were able to experience something that we all have not experienced before.The day there was super fun we went on a lot of roller coaster possibly like 6 or 5.
