Harvest Hill STEAM Exhibition
Vinegar and baking soda volcanoes, water vs coffee plant growing experiments, mold growing on bread. Science Fairs are a rite of passage.
But what if you took the basic science fair and evolved it into an event for the modern age?
That is what Harvest Hill Steam Academy in Menifee has done with its inaugural TK – 8 Learning Exhibition. It’s not the “8th grade science fair”, it is the “whole school professional conference”. The curiosity of Transitional Kindergarteners (TK) mixed with the knowledge of 8th graders.
The TK and Kindergarteners designed humane enclosures for Old MacDonalds Farm. 1st and 2nd graders showcased how to be “Guardians of the Earth. 4th graders engineered seismographs and Rube Goldberg machines. 5th graders built sustainable digital cities. And the middle schoolers produced podcasts.
“This exhibition proved we aren’t just separate classrooms, but a unified colony where our students are no longer passive learners, but experts claiming their own brilliance,” said Dr. Darlene Painter, HHSA Principal.
The event has quickly become a new defining event for Harvest Hill. Next year the school plans to invite industry experts to bring another level of learning and curiosity to enrich the minds of our young.
