On Friday, May 14, 2021, the Milwaukee Environmental Sciences Academy (MESA) hosted their Middle School’s Annual STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math/Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) at their school, 6600 W. Melvina Street. At this time of uncertainty due to COVID-19 and the virtual learning platform, it was quite a joy for the students to show off what they have learned at an in-person event.
More than 80 projects were on display representing 18 branches of science, from behavioral science to physics. It was a requirement that every scholar incorporate and demonstrate one of Sir Isaac Newton’s Three Laws of Motion as it pertained to their project as well as the exact scientific terms and language that they learned this year. In-person social distancing and masks were also a requirement at the event.
