On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, Bultum Academy students from grades 3 to 7 had an exciting and educational field trip to the Science Museum. During their visit, students explored a variety of interactive exhibits, sparking curiosity and engaging their minds in science, technology, and the natural world.

 

A highlight of the day was attending a live science show titled Fire and Ice, where they learned about the fascinating properties and effects of heat and cold through dynamic demonstrations. The trip was a memorable experience that enriched their understanding of science and left them eager to learn more.

On Friday, November 15, 2024, Bultum Academy had the privilege of hosting a book talk with Zinet Kemal for our middle school students. Zinet, an inspiring author and cybersecurity expert, shared her journey of becoming a writer and discussed her newest book, See Yourself in Cybersecurity: A Book About Careers in Cybersecurity for the Next Generation.

 

Following the talk, she held a book signing, giving students a chance to meet her personally and get signed copies of her latest work. The event was a memorable experience, inspiring our middle schoolers to explore their own interests, creativity, and the exciting possibilities in cybersecurity.

The STEM Play Day, organized by FOSRSE (Friends of Science, Research, and STEM Education), provided an exciting opportunity for Pre-K students to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and math through hands-on activities.

Children participated in various interactive stations that introduced them to basic STEM concepts. They built structures with blocks, learned about balance, and explored engineering ideas.

They also experimented with simple machines, like pulleys and ramps, to see how they worked. Interactive coding activities helped them develop early problem-solving skills while engaging with technology.

Nature exploration allowed students to investigate natural materials such as rocks and leaves, learning about ecosystems. Additionally, art and science activities let them experiment with colors and textures, combining creativity with basic scientific principles.

The day was full of fun and learning, giving students the chance to think critically, collaborate, and develop a love for STEM in a playful environment.
