The Monthly Update
January, 2026
Keller & Upton Elementary went to Michigan Science Center
Just like the Mackinac Bridge, our students are learning how strong ideas are built—one question, one discovery, and one moment of wonder at a time.
Students at the Science Stage
This stage helps learners explore science topics in a fun way—reinforcing ideas about energy, forces, motion, chemistry, sound, and more through presentations that make science exciting for all ages.
Machines in Motion exhibit
Students explore full-scale inventions imagined by Leonardo da Vinci—cranking gears, pulling levers, and seeing how art and engineering come together to inspire curiosity and innovation.
My Body Exhibit
In this exhibit, students explored how the human body works through interactive displays. They also had the opportunity to see a CT scan machine up close, learning how medical technology helps us understand the body and diagnose health conditions.
Exploring the museum
Students explored the museum and engaged in a variety of hands-on activities, including playing video games, chess, building with LEGOs, and other interactive exhibits.
Legoland and SeaLife
Learning came to life as our elementary students explored, built, and discovered at LEGOLAND® and SEA LIFE—where curiosity, creativity, and fun came together in the most memorable way.
LEGOLAND Discovery Center
Students explored a world of creativity and hands-on learning. They built and designed with LEGO® bricks and discovered how engineering and imagination come together to create amazing structures.
Meeting Santa
During their visit, some students had the special opportunity to meet Santa Claus! They shared with him that they had been nice this year and excitedly told him what they hoped to receive for Christmas, making the experience memorable and festive.
