The Middle School K’Nex club recently traveled to the Berks County Intermediate Unit to participate in the 2025 STEM Design Challenge.
Students were tasked to focus on Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (UN Sustainable Development Goal 9) by designing a prototype that addresses a real-world problem related to infrastructure, transportation, or urban development. The goal is to inspire students to think about how cities, roads, bridges, and systems can be built or improved to be more efficient, sustainable, and accessible.
Overall, the students did a great job!
🌾Growing Connections
Brandywine Heights students had the unique opportunity to meet Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Russell Redding, at Fleetwood Bank’s Agriculture Appreciation Dinner held at the Oley Fair Center.
A great evening celebrating agriculture, community, and future leaders! 🌾
Out and about—and learning every step of the way! 🚌✨
Students in our special education classes are gaining real-world skills through community-based trips like bowling outings and restaurant visits. These experiences help build independence, confidence, and social skills—all while having a great time!
