Meeting a Project Engineer!

On Tuesday, the BES students had the opportunity to meet Lauren Simone, the project engineer who is overseeing the construction of Crossroads Elementary School. Ms. Simone spoke about how she utilized the five steps of the Engineering Design Process to make Crossroads go from simply an idea to a completed project. She also highlighted the important roles that the structural, mechanical, civil, and and safety engineers played in the project. The presentation ended with a lively Question and Answer session, during which the students asked thoughtful questions about engineering. We are very thankful that Ms. Simone was willing to take time out of her busy schedule to share her expertise with us!

  1. Ms. Simone, Ms. Hansen and I were all impressed with the questions you asked AND answered during the STEM presentation. I hope you enjoyed learning about how the STEM process is used by scientists and engineers to build your new school. Burrows students are the BEST! Mr. Hollier
