For Anatolia’s STEM Center program, the 2015-2016 school year began in the best way possible. Team RESET, national champions in the international F1 in Schools competition, had the honor of representing Greece in the international finals. Out of 48 teams from 31 countries, Anatolia College team took 11th place overall and 3rd place in the knock-out round, the best performance ever from Greece.
The Anatolian STEM program has been expanding quickly in size and breadth, with our students embracing challenges both locally and on the international level. At home, our students from the Go Green Club helped to research and test the program elements for the upcoming Center for Green Education, and the results were presented to great acclaim at the National Science Teacher Association meeting in Philadelphia in November. Anatolia students’ video entry for the Kahn Academy’s international competition Breakthrough Junior Challenge received excellent marks in a field of tough competition from more than 7,500 submissions.
