Wood Dale Junior High School students are excelling in STEM. The word is out: these 12- and 13-year-olds are a powerhouse.
The Jordan-era Chicago Bulls, the New York Yankees of the 1950s, this century's New England Patriots; all dynasties. You could add another team to that high-achieving list: young students from Chicago's northwest suburbs.
Under West's directions, the team has excelled in finding solutions to vexing problems; displaying their mastery of STEM – science, technology, engineering, and math. This year, they're taking on climate change and global warming. Adding to the challenge: this year they did all of that in-person, face to face with demanding judges, after two years of online presentations."Just a little bit," she said.
"I'd come in during lunch. I'd come in early in the morning. I'd come in after school, and I lost sleep, and stuff like that, but it was it was all worth it in the end, because I think winning that ended up being one of the best experiences I've ever experienced," Adalina said.
