Artistry Night showcases students’ STEAM projects in Ridgefield

RIDGEFIELD — Student artwork spilled into the hallways and covered walls of classrooms at the new campus for Sunset Ridge Intermediate School and View Ridge Middle School during an Artistry Night held in June. An array of artistic science, technology, engineering, art and math projects completed by students from fifth to eighth grade were showcased. Some attendees were seeing the school’s new art studios and STEM labs for the first time. In the STEM Fabrication Lab, parents learned from students how they created their pieces, using 3D printers and robotic parts. Some projects aimed to be solutions to real-life scenarios,such as developing sample braces and splints or designing mechanical toys for children with cerebral palsy.
