Kingsford Park Students Explore STEAM at SUNY Oswego

OSWEGO – Kingsford Park Elementary School sixth-grade students recently visited SUNY Oswego’s Shineman Center for a day of hands-on STEAM learning and discovery. Students explored the wonders of science through activities involving microscopes, light science, and decoding challenges, putting their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills to work in exciting new ways.

The experience offered students a unique opportunity to engage with science beyond the classroom while gaining exposure to a college campus environment.

“At this pivotal transitional age, stepping outside the traditional classroom and onto a higher education campus sparks curiosity and shapes future aspirations in several key ways: planting the seeds for higher education, providing hands-on academic enrichment, expanding horizons and career awareness, and building community and social skills,” said Principal Jennifer Petralito.
