STEM Speaker Series #1
We began our parent STEM speaker series with one of our parents, Dmitry Genis, doing a wonderful presentation on the history of computers.
Mr. Genis emphasized how important math is in STEM careers as well as how important it is to be able to collaborate and communicate with others. A real bonus was a video he showed us on how robots are programed to deliver items from where they are stocked in a warehouse in order for these items to be shipped to customers. In fact, we will be taking a field trip to his company in the spring!

Natick Labs Field Trip Questions/Comments:
This is a unique opportunity to communicate with the STEM professionals who work at the Natick Labs. Please post any questions/comments you have about what you saw on the field trip. For example, a question I might ask is: How do they get people to test food like we did. Or, I might make a comment like: I appreciate the time Donna Bulger spent planning the field trip for us, and I think it would be a good field trip for next year.
There are four people with whom you can direct questions/comments: Donna Bulger, Zack, Katelyn D'allesandro (the lady who explained the MRE's) and Jennifer Rourke (the lady who explained the computer software).
