Elementary Science Days offer an exciting opportunity for all students—especially gifted and talented (GT) learners—to showcase their deep understanding, curiosity, and leadership skills. This event empowers GT students to apply their advanced content knowledge, critical thinking, and creativity by stepping into the role of content experts. By designing and leading hands-on STEM activities, they not only reinforce their own learning but also cultivate communication and mentorship skills. In addition, Science Days provide a meaningful platform for non-GT students to actively engage with and demonstrate their understanding of scientific concepts covered throughout the year. By blending leadership, inquiry, and celebration of learning, Science Days foster a love for science across the entire school community.
