Yeshivat Noam elementary school students had fun while learning scientific concepts during STEMPIAD competitions. Students learned about buoyancy and engineering. They made boats and then tested the strength of each one in water! Additionally, they learned about machines and kinetic energy by creating a Rube Goldberg. One of the most popular competitions was bridge building, using sand to test how much weight their bridges could carry. Throughout the competition they learned about collaboration, kindness and sportsmanship.
