Southern Columbia offers students a Child Development class where they explore how children grow and learn, focusing on key stages of development, influential factors, and the role of family and community. Students in Mrs. Zysset’s class recently gained hands-on experience by working with students in Miss Hunter’s and Mrs. Madden’s classrooms. Child Development students assisted elementary students with math problems, fun art projects, and reading books.

In the 8th Grade Advanced STEM class, students took on an exciting engineering challenge: designing and building bridges out of popsicle sticks modeled after major real-world bridge designs. Working under resource and design constraints, they applied key concepts such as structure and stability, forces like tension and compression, load distribution, and materials science. After construction, each bridge was tested by hanging weights underneath to see if it could withstand the required load. This hands-on project fostered problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking.
