StratoStar & Cherry Creek Partnership
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” thickness=”1″ width=”580″ up=”0″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]Cherry Creek School District contacted StratoStar looking for a school-wide and district-wide curriculum rooted in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. StratoStar’s Education team worked with administrators within Cherry Creek to develop a program which was rolled out to educators across the district through on-site hands-on PD workshops with StratoStar Education Staff.
One of the main goals for StratoStar’s Cherry Creek Program is to, “Instill enthusiasm for the scientific and engineering process.” These two themes have been woven into the classroom lessons / activities, mission planning, launch / tracking and recovery phases of the program.
When the student projects are launched on the day of the mission they reach altitudes of over 100,000 ft (3 times higher than airplanes) and experience temperatures below -30F. All of the sensor and location data is monitored in real-time by students via their phones and tablets through StratoStar’s online mission tracking website. Students and the community utilized the mission’s social media feed to update the public and communicate the science behind the experiments being flown.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”10″][qode_button_v2 target=”_self” icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right-up” hover_effect=”” gradient=”no” text=”Connect with us” link=”#connect”][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”10″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][qode_video_box video_link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MnwF_ZUO0Q&feature=youtu.be” video_image=”356″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image=”512″ background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1522771962877{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
“We’ve seen exponential growth – we’re doing launches at over 32 elementary schools this year. That’s growth like you wouldn’t believe…the experiments have become a valuable component of elementary school students’ exposure to the core tenets of STEM.”
Jon Pierce, Coordinator for the Office of STEM & Innovation for Cherry Creek School District
