Today the agents were treated to two very special
presentations! The first we owe a HUGE thank you to Field Trip Zoom for
bringing the International Spy Museum to us! Since we could not go there, they
came to us via some technological tools. Today we participated in Tech Ops
Science: Operation STEM.
“Tech Ops…come in Tech Ops.” A field
agent is in trouble and needs help. Students play the role of Technical
Operations Officers (Tech Ops) supporting an agent in her secret mission.
First, with basic electronics, everyday objects, and some creativity, students
are challenged to create a signaling device. Then, they must decrypt a secret
message and finally devise an exfiltration plan using geospatial analysis.”
Students discovered a lot through this
amazing program! Field Trip Zoom is a wonderful resource for classrooms. Their
vast programming has a lot to offer our learners. Check them out at http://www.fieldtripzoom.com/.
Students also had an assembly with the
Museum of Science on electromagnetism. “During this presentation featuring
high-tech Museum equipment, students explore voltage, current, resistance, and
the interrelationship between magnetism and electricity. See someone’s hair
stand on end, create a human extension cord by sending an electric current
through several people, and shoot a metal ring to the ceiling of the school!”

Thanks to MESA for supporting our learning!
