My Students

My Students: Shouldn't all students wake up in the morning and want to go to school? Our goal is to make that a reality. Our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders are raising 500 salmon, building robots, launching rockets and racing solar cars. Help us achieve our goal. Help students say, "I can't wait to wake up.

We are a rural community in Stockbridge, Michigan.

We have four hundred students in our third through fifth grade school. Fifty-two percent of our student population has been labeled "at-risk." Our school is addressing those needs by developing an entrepreneurial approach to education.

My Project

My Project: Our students are encouraged to tackle big problems. Last year our Remote Operated Vehicle program went to the small island nation of Palua to assist the Bentprop organization find downed B-24's from World War II using student built ROVs. Schools across our nation were built using the industrial model and our school prides itself in switching to the entrepreneurial model of finding problems and missions and solving them using ingenuity. Our rural students use GPS to find hidden class assignments, build vehicles to move objects across distances and find ways to take pictures of our school one hundred fifty feet above the ground. We need rockets to show the students a way to get cameras in the air. We want to show the students that rockets can be launched using air propulsion and engines. We want a altitude finder that shows us distance so we can compare the two.

This project is important because it will help us complete our air unit.

We plan on building kites, air propelled rockets and engine propelled rockets. Students need to find a way to capture an image of our school at 100 feet above the ground. We need a device to launch the rockets and measure how high they go.
