Excitement was 'in the air' at E.I.S. in the popular after-school STEM Club

We made drones

 

Things you need:

  • 3 DC motors
  • Glue
  • Thick cardboard/ carton
  • Copper wires
  • Battery caps
  • 3 to 7 - 9 V batteries
  • Paper tape
  • A switch
  • 3 plastic fan blades

What to do:

  • We made the base using carton
  • We cut out a piece from the carton and made a triangular prism for the stand.
  • We glued the base on the platform
  • Then we used super glue to stick the electric motors to the batteries.
  • Next we made a circuit by using the copper wires to connect the three motors to the batteries.
  • We assembled the batteries with the switch together and covered them with the caps. We linked the copper wires from the caps by twisting red and black together.
  • Finally we stuck the propellers on each of the motors with glue and our drones were ready to take off!

Artistic talent was evident in the E.I.S. Middle School as students worked on drawings, paintings and pottery under the theme of Heroes and Leaders.

During our art class, the Year 5 and 6 discovered the world of Abstract Art through the eyes of Wassily Kandinsky. It inspired them to create their very own wonderful works of art that I am now sharing with you. Enjoy! Class teacher Year 5 and 6 Mrs E. Afolabi.

Selina Vitho, Year 4 sums up the lesson learnt through the visits by saying the following: “I have learned that nothing good comes easy. I must work hard to achieve my dreams. I must be patient in everything I do.”

Two E.I.S. students were recognised as being ‘one of the highest calibre of entries this year’ in the Immerse Education Essay Competition.
