A university-quality wet-lab for <strong>STEM<\/strong> chemistry and biology students houses modern laboratory equipment, including gel-electrophoresis for DNA studies, high-power microscopes, digital balances and a full range of laboratory glassware. <strong>STEM<\/strong> students also have access to a state-of-the-art greenhouse for biological studies. All<strong> STEM<\/strong> classes routinely incorporate technology, with a 1:1 device -to-student ratio.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most <strong>STEM<\/strong> classrooms are designed for student collaboration and project-work, with tables and chairs replacing desks. <strong>STEM<\/strong> classrooms are equipped with either touchscreen TVs or interactive digital projectors.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The <strong>STEM<\/strong> conference room is a high-quality meeting space equipped with leading-edge technology which rivals boardrooms and meeting spaces found in industry. The <strong>STEM<\/strong> conference room is used for student collaboration, student meetings with industrial advisors and student presentations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-aq6qn-fb33711f001ee8c7a83b56b4d4dd5b0c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kv16dar8-4e25dd78814ffea70d286d1b908fb040 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><strong>Examples of STEM Student Portfolio Projects<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Student designed and created a working brain-wave monitor which controls a servo motor<\/li>\n<li>Student designed and prototyped a modification to a surgical instrument to overcome a common problem in gall-bladder surgery<\/li>\n<li>Student developed working blueprints for two buildings which were subsequently\u00a0constructed<\/li>\n<li>Student designed orthopaedic training device for cheerleading stunts<\/li>\n<li>Student created video-games and animations<\/li>\n<li>Student designed rocket engines<\/li>\n<li>Engineering study of Thompson Bridge design and construction<\/li>\n<li>Microprocessor control of instrument-mounted LED lighting for NHHS Drumline<\/li>\n<li>Drone based study of chlorophyll A\/B ratios in local pastures using IR\/Vis cameras<\/li>\n<li>Solar-powered vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Microprocessor monitored knee-brace for measuring physical therapy parameters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, please contact Deana Harper (STEM Academy Coordinator) at deana.harper@hallco.org (770-983-7331).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-951","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
