Gleneagle Secondary's ConX Leadership hosts district's first ever STEAM-based Conference, XSteamCon

Gleneagle Secondary's ConX Leadership students achieved another milestone in organizing the district's first ever STEAM-based Conference, XSteamCon at Moody Middle School.

Over 400 students, staff, and esteemed guests, participated in the conference gaining a whole new understanding and appreciation for science, technology, engineering, arts and math!

Students were divided into groups and participated in eight different workshops learning various topics such as design thinking, using technology to interpret data and help with climate change, coding with Micro:bits, exploring Pascal's principle on force and pressure, application of acoustic sensors, robotics and the use AI technology, designing water bottle rockets, power of hydraulics, and so much more!
