| Innovation Academy's Arcade | |
Following a global initiative, with Caine's Arcade, that would encourage students to use STEM projects to further project-based and problem-based learning, IA challenged students to put on their thinking caps to come up with amazing cardboard games. Students were to plan, design, create, and test their games. Games included skee ball, plinko, golf, basketball, soccer, table tennis, claw machine, and bowling just to name a few. Some were complex with moving parts. Students spent two weeks leading up to a CELEBRATION DAY where they could play the games that were created. Everyone had an amazing time with some AWESOME GAMES.

CYBERPATRIOT VI |
Sullivan North High School Naval Junior Reserve Training Corp (NJROTC) will be participating in the sixth annual CyberPatriot Cybersecurity event in the near future. CyberPatriot is a highly successful computer security competition and includes both practice sessions and live online security activities. This event will eventually include several hundred schools (both JROTC and non JROTC schools) and the premier national high school cyber defense competition created by the Air Force Association. The emphasis of this event is to inspire high school students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation's future.
