Sandy Springs Education Force supported Heards Ferry’s after-school STEAM Club: Heards Ferry: Rockin’ Robotics and Awesome Apps!Under the guidance of Ms. Sarah Severson, Heards Ferry students explored the exciting world of robotics and app development, creating interactive experiences for visitors to enjoy. Using Hummingbird Robotics Bit Kits, students designed and built their own robotics-based games from scratch, incorporating sensors, motors and LEDs to bring their ideas to life. These kits provided students with an open-ended engineering and programming platform and allowed them to code and construct robots using a mix of arts and technology. These tools helped students develop problem-solving skills, creativity and teamwork as they designed, tested and refined their projects.
In addition, students worked in teams of four to develop innovative apps with real-world applications. Half of the projects focused on app development, while the other half showcased robotics-driven interactive games.
Through this hands-on experience, students gained technical skills and learned to think critically and collaboratively—preparing them for future STEM opportunities.SSEF STEAM Showcase: March 5th, 6-8 pm
Heards Ferry students will be featured at Sandy Springs Education Force’s 15th Annual STEAM Showcase on March 5th, 6-8 PM at North Springs High School. Attendees can explore student-led projects and also interact with humanoid robots, test flight simulators, and experience AI training simulations. Sandy Springs Education Force thanks our premier sponsors: RangeWater Impact Foundation, Google Fiber, Mercedes-Benz USA and Sandy Springs Together.
