Tis’ the season!             Nearly 400,000 lights in GE Lighting’s 86th annual holiday lighting display at Nela Park in East Cleveland will be turned on for the season at 5 p.m., on Friday, Dec. 3. This year’s display is composed of 100 percent energy-efficient LED lights. Joining the creative extravaganza are five brightly colored LED snowflake trees, designed  and made by Cleveland 10th grade MC2STEM High School students who attend school on GE’s Nela Park campus. The students employed their geometry knowledge to create the ornaments.      

MC2STEM H.S. students put geometry to work in Nela Park display New to the display this year are several creative decorations, designed and made by Cleveland 10th grade MC2STEM High School students who attend school on GE Lighting’s Nela Park campus.  Under the direction of math teacher Cathy Staveteig, and with geometry lessons involved, students fabricated five, brightly colored snowflake  trees out of wood, using the school’s epilog laser. The snowflake trees in the Nela Park display are illuminated with LED lights.

Day two of the 2011 STEMtech Conference was a day full of tours. The mobile FABlab was open for inspection today by attendees of the conference. Many received a puzzle box that they got to put together. The boxes were designed and made in the Moblie FABlab.

Students Kihen Kitchen, Cassandra Lamarca, Taylor Williams and Taylor Owens made a house mache model out of Cardboard. They created this Mache during their sustainability Capstone. Keihen had said that the house mache was a representation of how communication changed over time. Each house had represented 10 years in time difference. The graph (above the mache) represented the forest population and how it decreased over time. Student Cassandra Lamarca examined the car exhaust and how it affected the air.
