STEM to Stern

During February, a dedicated group of middle schoolers have continued to participate in the STEM to Stern program. The winter program has utilized Princeton's Shea Boathouse due to space constraints at the Caspersen Rowing Center.


This season the athletes continued their training on the ergometers, preparing for their first regatta - the Mercer Indoor Row for the Cure!


In STEM, the athletes continued to learn coding via Lego robots. They were even able to take advantage of the engineering labs at Princeton to learn and built their own 3D model. We want to give a special shout out to the Makers Space at Princeton University for making this happen.


We are very proud of our middle school group and can't wait to cheer them on as they race this weekend!
