Sanilac Math & Science Center 4th Grade Engineering Program
| During Michigan’s official STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Week which was held at the end of March, the Sanilac Math and Science Center visited all eight elementary schools in the county and presented an 80 minute program to all 4th graders. The program consisted of two 40-minute sessions. One session was held in a larger room at each elementary building where the students had the opportunity to explore various aspects of engineering by engaging in 23 different hands-on stations. The purpose was to establish what engineers do, and expose them to the many different types of engineering. |

| The second 40-minute session placed students in small groups where they experienced some engineering “roll playing”. Student teams became architects and were given the task of designing, and building a model, of the world’s tallest free standing structure using pipe cleaners. A second task involved students roll playing being design engineers in a “pen” factory. They were given the latest pen that their competitors were making and they were asked to “reverse engineer” it by taking it apart and putting it back together. Once they became proficient at this task, they were then challenged with the task of roll playing “efficiency engineers” and explored what they could do in their factory to speed up the process of producing the pens. The purpose of the program was to introduce the career of engineering to 4th grade students. |

Great Start News
Since 2009, the Great Start Parent Coalition has raised nearly $13,000 in grants and fundraising, to award 26 preschool scholarships over two school years. The efforts were prompted by increases in the number of Sanilac children living in poverty every year since 2006. The clincher was realizing that only one-third of children between the ages of 2 and 5 who were eligible to attend preschool were enrolled. Through the generosity of the Sanilac County Community Foundation, Gannett Foundation and hard work of the GSPC they were able to raise $13,600 and assist 26 children to have a preschool experience since 2011. It is the intention of the Coalition to raise $15,000 for the next school year and enable more than 20 additional children to attend a preschool. The Preschool Scholarship funds partial tuition, between 20%-50% and is intended for working families who may be struggling to meet the preschool costs yet don't qualify for state of federally funded preschools.
