What an incredible day for our 6th graders at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago! Students dove into the Blue Paradox exhibit, discovering how microplastics affect our waterways, and then set off to explore the many exciting exhibits throughout the museum. From hands-on activities to fascinating discoveries, it was a day packed with curiosity, learning, and fun.
A huge thank you to SC Johnson, A Family Company for making this unforgettable experience possible! #SCJcares

This week our 4th–6th grade students participated in an exciting, hands-on learning experience with The Hour of AI! 🎉💻

Students worked through breakout-style challenges to earn clues and unlock locks, finishing by using Chromebooks to code a micro:bit. Along the way, they learned what AI is, how it can help, what information is appropriate to share, and how to analyze AI-generated data.

This opportunity was made possible through a generous grant from Microsoft. We are incredibly grateful for their support and also want to thank our amazing RUSD staff who helped make this event a success!
