Carnival Night - 5/17/24

Fab Lab
The Fab Lab Residency will be visiting QE this week and all grade levels other than Kindergarten will have an opportunity to participate.
The Bucks County IU's Mobile Fab Lab (fabrication laboratory), one of only 50 in the United States, was created to inspire and encourage students in grades 1-8 to pursue careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) fields. The Mobile Fab Lab itself is a large transit van that transports several carts full of equipment such as a laser engraver, 3d printers (below left wit printed items in front), CNC router, vinyl cutters (bottom right), and a variety of robotics equipment. It also has laptop computers and iPads with specialized software programs to control and interact with the equipment.
PIE Meeting - 5/15/24
Our final PIE meeting of the year will be taking place this Wednesday night from 6:30-8:00 PM and Dr. Friedman will be attending for a portion of this meeting. Here is the link for those families who would like to participate virtually.
