LHCS GEMS and GISE students learned about electrical circuits during the Spring.  Groups of students made a game which demonstrated the use of circuits.  The games were presented at Anishinabe Academy and each group took home several awards.  The day also included fun and educational demonstrations about electricity from the Bakken. 

Congratulations to the Double Deuce team advanced to and competed in the State Tournament on January 28, 2012!  Check out the photos from the event.

Eight Lake Harriet GEMS and GISE teams competed in the First Lego League district competition at Ann Sullivan/Anishinabe School on Saturday, January 14.  The teamwork and innovation that the teams exhibited with the guidance of coaches Marchetti and Tousignant was inspirational.  In addition to a fun day of science and engineering competition, Lake Harriet won several awards and the GEMS team "Double Duece" is advancing to State.  

Each team competed in Core Values, a Presentation on Innovative Food Handling, a demonstration to judges about their robot programming techniques, and the very exciting team robot competition.

The district competition was a huge success for the 8 Lake Harriet teams participating.  Click on the title for a Google Picasa web album which can be viewed as a slideshow.
