The faculty and staff of Brick Memorial are so happy to announce that Five teams of sophomore STEM Academy students from BTHS & BMHS are competing in the NJSBA STEAM Tank Challenge regional finals.

In order to make it to regionals, students identified a situation or real-world problem that needs attention and created a product to solve it. Teams were mentored by US Army Corps of Engineers and local businesses. They presented to a panel of experts judges their designs and/or solutions.

The program encourages students and teachers to work collaboratively and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our groups designed a solar-powered phone case, solar-powered retractable flagpole, metaphoring wheelchair, solar-powered charging station, and a thumbprint lock.

STEAM Tank is an opportunity for your students to share their ideas and make a difference.
