District 20 students bring STEAM-powered dreams to life
Jesse Aja-Sigmon stood in the gymnasium of Shallow Intermediate School proudly displaying his creation. “When you push the needle, it runs with water pressure,” he told this newspaper as he explained the inner workings of the hydraulic-powered claw he had constructed.
Jesse, who attends P.S. 127, was one of scores of students taking part in District 20’s Third Annual STEAM Expo at Shallow I.S. in Bensonhurst on March 28.
STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math and the projects in the expo reflected the knowledge and creativity of the students, according to District 20 officials.
