Incoming STEM, arts students propose innovative inventions at annual camp

YOUNGSTOWN

An oven that does all of the food preparation for you, glasses that help blind people see and a 911 button were some of the ideas for inventions thought up by incoming sixth- and seventh-graders to Chaney’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program.

The school’s summer bridge program runs through this week for incoming students in both the STEM and the Visual and Performing Arts program.

Pam Lubich, STEM coordinator, said the program allows students to meet their classmates and teachers and get familiar with the building.

In an exercise Wednesday, the future scientists brainstormed ideas for new inventions geared at helping people.

A 911 button, glasses that would help blind people see, a first-aid robot and a robot that cleans the house were more of the ideas generated.

Kiara Preston, 12, who will be a seventh grader, suggested a robot that helps elderly people and an oven that prepares food for you.
