The Clinton City Schools STEM Camp wound down Friday, June 4, with a presentation of the students’ problem solution.

Students spent the week learning about “Design Thinking” — the notion of creating solutions to personal, family, or community problems using empathy, and then building a prototype of their solutions from ordinary household materials like cardboard, newspapers, paper tubes and craft supplies.

The solutions showcase for parents and community partners North Clinton Elementary School.
