Spin-a-Copters are taking flight!

Our 4th graders put their engineering skills to the test with Spin-a-Copters and launch pad testing! Students designed, built, launched, tested, and made adjustments as they worked to get their creations flying.

A little STEM, a little competition, and a LOT of flying paper! 😂🚁✨

STEM is all about building, testing, and problem-solving! 🛠️

Ms. Faustini’s STEM students put their engineering skills to work as they designed and built their very own paper roller coasters! Students experimented with loops, twists, drops, and turns while thinking about how to make their coasters work.

A fun, hands-on challenge that put creativity, engineering, and problem-solving to the test! 🎢✨

Today, the Discovery Academy of Science North Campus Administrative Team proudly welcomed our teachers for the first day of pre-planning!

We are especially excited to be back at our former campus in Dunedin and to see the building once again filled with dedicated educators preparing for the new school year.

Throughout pre-planning, our teachers will be preparing their classrooms, reviewing curriculum, collaborating with colleagues, and getting everything ready for our students. Our new teachers will also receive training on DAS systems, procedures, and instructional expectations.

We have a full house, and the energy and excitement across campus are truly inspiring. We cannot wait to welcome our students and families to DAS North Campus and begin this exciting new chapter together!

Our VEX Robotics Summer Camp at DAS North is off to an amazing start!

Students in grades 2 and 3 spent their first day learning about VEX Robotics, working in pairs, and building their own base bots. After successfully creating robots that could drive, they added claw attachments and began testing what their designs could do.

One camper proudly summed it up by saying, “I actually built a robot!” That excitement is exactly what hands-on STEM learning is all about. 🤖✨
