As part of a field trip to Molloy College, first grade students at Wheeler Avenue Elementary School stepped into the future and experienced firsthand how it feels to be a college student. The trip was organized thanks to the efforts of Wheeler first grade parent, Dr. Manyiu Tse, a professor at Molloy College.
The students participated in various workshops, taught by a Molloy College professor that focused on an aspect of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math education). These workshops expanded upon the district’s own STEM curriculum and initiatives. Much to their delight, the enthusiastic students became scientists for a day by observing, programming computers, building circuits, and creating a chemical reaction. The students thoroughly enjoyed this unique and memorable learning experience. Special thanks to Dr. Tse and the professors and students at Molloy College who participated in this special event.
