Another excellent day at our ACMS Cougar Experience. Our rising 8th grade finished up their hovercrafts with a lot of trial and error in figuring out the wires, and they were able to use their brain power to get them to work. At the end they raced them! To end the STEM day they learned how to extract DNA from a strawberry. Meanwhile, our rising 7th grade was visited again by Dr. Davis and Seekins. They took them through a Hands Only CPR and First Aid skills course and earned a certificate of participation.
