Club Day was an exciting event where students came together to showcase their creativity and teamwork, particularly in the STEM Club. During this activity, participants engaged in a hands-on project to design and build a marble run using various materials, including tape, paper plates, and toilet paper rolls.


The challenge involved creating a track for marbles that not only navigated down a structured path but also incorporated a basketball hoop shot and an obstacle course. Students collaborated effectively, brainstorming and experimenting with their designs to ensure that the marbles would successfully traverse the course.


The final creations reflected impressive ingenuity and planning, demonstrating the students' ability to apply engineering principles creatively. Overall, the event highlighted the students' enthusiasm and skill in STEM activities, fostering a spirit of innovation and collaboration within the club.
