Clairbourn Insights
 
Innovation Lab Fall Engineering Project
 
 
This fall, students in first through eighth grade are becoming better acquainted with the red planet itself—Mars! They're beginning their journey by studying the 7-Minutes of Terror
the dangerous time the descent vehicle spends between entering the Martian atmosphere and landing safely on the surface.
 
This project draws inspiration from the classic egg drop challenge, where students attempt to land a raw egg safely from a tall drop. However, at Clairbourn, we are replacing the egg with a PocketLab, a small sensor which will collect acceleration data during the journey. Students have access to a wide range of resources — from plastic bags, straws, and coffee filters to more complex approaches involving chemical reactions, laser cutting, and 3D printing!

Campus Safety: Playground Hours

Randall Hall playground closes at 4:30 p.m. and preschool playground closes at 3:30 p.m.
 

We love seeing the community that is built when families stay to chat and play after dismissal, but please clear the main Randall Hall playground by 4:30 p.m. (and the preschool playground area by 3:30 p.m.) so that our after school programs can safely use the space.
Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe and welcoming!
