Virtual S.T.E.A.M. Day

Each year, in November we traditionally host S.T.E.A.M. Day at St. Catherine of Siena School so that our students can experience hands-on activities that celebrate the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics - and give them a chance to work together and learn from each other.

While we can’t host S.T.E.A.M. Day in person this year, we can still celebrate!

Enjoy the teacher stations and take some of our Virtual S.T.E.A.M. Day Challenges! If you do, please share photos and videos with us. We would love to see your creativity and problem solving in action. Feel free to tag us on social media using @cougars1956 and #STEAMatSCSS

A logic puzzle requires you to use reasoning to solve a problem.

Read each clue carefully. Place an X in a box that the clues allow you to eliminate.

For example: If Alan rides a vehicle with four wheels, you can eliminate the bike which only has two wheels.

If you got colored bears you can place the bears over all the squares and then remove them as you work through the puzzle.
