Check out how we made 2021 a year to remember

2021 Pandemic Musical Time Capsule

Students from around Jefferson County weren’t able to participate in Kiwanis Stars of Tomorrow Talent Show, so the students partnered with the KPTZ Radio Station, and brought the student’s music talent to the community via radio.

2021 Makers at Home – to Makers Camp

As the school districts changed, so did the PT STEM Club. Students switched to zoom and remote access and built and designed models, grew flowers flash mob style around town instead of in school, and hopped on VR to build artscapes, apart at home first, and together when the schools opened up to small gathering.

Students designing in Cad remotely and 3D printing industrial art remotely
Flowers grown by students with instructions to flash mob the town with flowers since they could not come to their classrooms
VR Artscape – creating virtual art worlds together with friends in pods
