A few 2025 X-STREAM Games Highlights:
-
The Science Scrimmage Engineering Challenge has been announced! This year’s challenge will be building a Rocket Catcher - learn about it here. Teams do need to register to participate in this at X-STREAM Games in advance, to ensure we have materials and space for all teams.
-
We will once again feature our Robotics Competition, with this year’s game being Rapid Relay. Visit this site for game details.
-
Academies included in the Games will be Kitchen Chem, Ignite the Power of Art, Invention Convention, Arcade Academy, and CSI. If your students are working on a different Academy, they are welcome to bring displays of their work for our Expo! Please also register on the STREAM website.
-
New this year: Public Speaking: Use Your Voice to Make a Difference! In this TED-talk-style competition, students will captivate the audience by sharing powerful stories, delivering impactful messages, or enlightening listeners on a topic they care deeply about.
STREAM Coordinators:
I am offering optional STREAM “Office Hours” twice a month where you are welcome to come to ask questions, share ideas, or connect. Please also feel free to extend this invitation/share the link on our Coordinator Meetings Calendar in Google Drive with any teachers working on STREAM Academies who may also want support or connection! These office hours will be from 2:45-3:45 on 1/21, 2/4, 2/24, and 3/6. If you do not have/cannot find the link, please reach out.
As always, I am available to support all your STREAM endeavors - reach out at stream@wnycatholicschools.org.
