In addition, Tech Will Save Us has generously provided a fantastic 45% discount for the Fantasy and Story Electro Dough Kits!
We thank our donors for their amazing support of our Sunol GEM School

We are featuring 3 experiments or activities in each S.T.E.A.M. category that can be done with things typically found around the home. Students are welcome to do additional activities that interest them. Mrs. Mendall has some amazing resources that can be found on her website (click here).

We would like to thank our Sunol Glen 7th & 8th Grade students for helping to demonstrate each activity.


The highlight of our S.T.E.A.M.-A-THON is a celebration with Mrs. Barnes, on Friday, December 5th at 3pm. All students who perform at least 5 experiments/activities will be invited to join in the fun!

In order to attend the celebration, students will need to send in photos or a video showing which 5 activities they did, and letting us know which one was their favorite.
Please note, as a bonus, students can feature the S.T.E.A.M. kit or book which they received from our generous donors, CDM Smith or Tech Will Save Us in lieu of one of their five experiments.

Let us know if you have any questions (SunolGlenCC@gmail.com).
