For some light-hearted competition, the Balloon Pop Challenge tested participants' speed as they raced to pop balloons using their custom-built cars.This event not only fostered a sense of community among students and parents but also reinforced the principles of STEAM education—science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. By combining creativity with critical thinking, participants enjoyed learning through hands-on activities.As we reflect on this successful day, we appreciate the enthusiasm and creativity shown by all participants.
