Ridgeway Elementary School recently hosted its first STEM Night, offering an engaging, hands-on event that allowed students and families to explore the exciting world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics through interactive stations, experiments, and design challenges.

Throughout the evening, more than 200 students rotated through a variety of STEM activities designed to spark
curiosity, encourage problem-solving, and inspire innovation. From building and engineering challenges to science experiments and technology demonstrations, there were opportunities for every Mustang to think critically, collaborate, and create.

The school’s dedicated teachers, staff, and community volunteers were on hand to guide activities, answer questions, and celebrate student discoveries. STEM Night was a wonderful opportunity for families to learn together, explore new ideas, and experience the joy of hands-on learning in a fun and supportive environment.

Special thanks to Severn Run High School and Old Mill Middle School South for their assistance and participation.

🐉💙 6th Grade Dragons Had a FIN‑tastic Day! 💙🐉
A huge THANK YOU to the Annapolis Maritime Museum for sailing into our science classes this week! ⛵️
Our Dragons got hands‑on learning about the everyday life of Maryland’s watermen, discovered how amazing oysters are 🦪, and explored the big role they play in keeping our ecosystem healthy and clean. 🌊✨
We’re smarter, greener, and definitely more shell‑fish educated now! 😉 https://www.instagram.com/annapmsaacps/reel/DVRJjNdAvN4/
