At the district’s annual STEAM Night, held at Elwood Middle School on Jan. 24, the fine arts were integrated into the thematic activities, reflected in this year’s fair’s title, “Exploring the Sights and Sounds of STEAM.” Through art and music, students from kindergarten through eighth grade explored sound, amplitude, frequency, the Fibonacci sequence, coding and the force of gravity.

“Simple experiments and activities help children to develop big ideas and problem solve, helping them to make sense of the world around them all while having fun,” said Dawn Valle, Elwood’s director of math, science, technology and federal grants.
