STEmINITIATIVES Construction Continues, Inspires Field Trips
Thanks to the construction of the Hajjar STEM Center, it can be said that STEM is in the air, on the ground, and on everyone’s mind at D-E. Along with progress on the new facility, STEMrelated activity this spring included a field trip to the construction site for second graders and off-campus adventures related to STEM academic work for students in the Upper School.
