Yerger Middle School

This weekend, why not learn a little bit about the new Artemis Missions NASA is working on? (with the goal of sending humans to the moon and beyond!) In Mr. Molloy's class, students took a virtual field trip to explore the Artemis 1 module that was launched on November 16, 2022 as a test flight. You can experience this fieldtrip yourself!

Yerger's 8th grade social studies class has been hard at work learning about the American Revolution!

Yerger has brought Project Lead The Way onto their campus this year as we continue to add STEAM into our classrooms! STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. Project Lead The Way (or PLTW) is a fantastic program that provides hands-on learning for students as we prepare them for the jobs of the future! In PLTW classes, students explore real-world problems and situations, and then create solutions for those problems and situations! Additionally, students explore careers related to the course's field of study, so they can be inspired to pursue those careers in the future! At Yerger, we are currently offering Flight and Space, Robotics and Automation, and Design and Modeling. Flight and Space Ever wonder how airplanes work or how astronauts get to space? In the Flight and Space course, Students will explore the engineering and design behind Flight, including airplanes and how they work; and Space, where they will plan their own Mission to Mars! Throughout this course, Students will explore the science and engineering behind the world of aerospace through Labs, demonstrations, and model building! Robotics and Automation Robots, will they one day rule the world? In this course students explore the world of robotics and how they are able to solve problems all on their own! Students will explore Artificial Intelligence, build robots, and learn how to program them! This course will have students explore the physical and digital aspects of robotics and their real-world applications. Design and Modeling Everything around us started out as just an idea. In this course, Students will learn how to take an Idea and make it into Reality! Technical Drawing, 3D printing, computer modeling, and more are taught to students as they transform ideas into physical products, Culminating in students designing and creating therapeutic toys for special needs children!
