Celebrating #ThePaceLegacy! For two decades, Superintendent Meka Pace has poured into the life and growth of Metro, guiding it from a small STEM high school to a thriving K-12 district! Thanks for your investment in the lives of students, staff and the Ohio STEM network. We celebrate your upcoming retirement with selfish sadness and an abundance of gratitude!
First and second grade students focus on using tools and the design process for an Imaginarium project. The personal pride in completing this hands-on STEM challenge is rewarding to see, as students develop important life skills.
Where Potential Meets Opportunity: Metro students are presenting their research work at our annual Capstone Symposium. Thanks to all our partner organizations and mentors for providing real-world experiences that allow students to explore career options through hands-on, collaborative work. Preparing tomorrow's innovators today!
Metro Elementary students shared the excitement of STEM learning at their first Student Showcase. Creative, critical thinking skills were evident as all grade levels shared class projects, including the immersive space-themed art show! Thanks to all who joined us in celebrating how the Metro Habits have ignited student growth this year.
Metro brought STEM learning to life at this weekend's COSI Science Festival! Children of all ages engaged in a balloon rocket challenge to test their critical thinking and design skills. Huge thanks to the Metrobots team, Mr. Caldwell, Mrs. Garin, Mr. Alston and Mrs. Linik - along with our amazing student volunteers - for creating a fun STEM experience for our community. #STEM #MetroSchools

Critical Thinkers: Third grade students are exploring solid, liquids and gasses in the Imaginarium! They combined the solid of sodium bicarbonate and the liquid white vinegar then used a balloon to capture the carbon dioxide gas that results from the chemical reaction!
Who says learning can't be hilariously fun?! Friday afternoon's PBL time at Metro Elementary included a Derby Race with staff in inflatable costumes (thanks for being such great sports!) Ask your student to tell you more!
Real World Learning: Agriscience students have been growing lettuce hydroponically the last 6 weeks. They began with seeds, transplanted them into the system, then monitored nutrients and pH . Today, they harvested their crops, made dressing and enjoyed the fruit of their labor!
National Honor Society members celebrate Earth Day with a clean-up of the Metro@Indianola campus.
Engaged Learning: Fourth graders use critical thinking and collaboration to complete a paper LED CIRCUIT. Students are exploring energy basics while working with snap circuits and learning about voltage, renewable energy and how we transform energy to meet our needs!
Kindergarten students prepared for their boat building lessons by learning some Ohio History - how the Ohio valley area tribes Shawnee, Wyandot, Miami, Ottawa and more used canoes to move people and things. Our innovators then went to work making prototypes!
