Alum Zooms with Lower Schoolers

On Saturday, March 11, Hackley hosted the Hudson Valley First Lego League Explore Division Expo. Hackley fielded two third and fourth grade teams, the Hackley Hurricanes and the Hackley Lightning.
The theme for this year’s competition was “Super Powered,” and students were challenged to learn about the processes of electrical energy generation, transport, storage, and use, and then innovate some part of the process. The Hackley teams have worked since the start of the school year researching, planning, designing, and building a model of a community that utilizes clean energy sources efficiently. They even Zoomed with Hackley alumna Ashley Conrad-Saydah ’95, a clean energy expert and advocate. Each team chose at least one part of their model to program to move with Lego Spike.
