Ballston Spa Middle School recently welcomed Rensselaer Engineering Ambassadors from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to visit science classes and share exploratory Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activities the college students developed. During each class, the ambassadors presented an engineering topic that connected to the students’ current learning as well as facilitated a demonstration or a hands-on design activity. Topics presented to the different classes included roller coasters, oil spills, sea level and biomimicry. (Photo provided)
