Saginaw Middle School students in robotics lab

Students at Saginaw Middle School are getting hands-on experience with technology, innovation, and problem-solving through the school’s growing STEM program.

Led by Computer Science and STEM teacher Mr. Diosaban, the program engages students in real-world learning through robotics, coding, drone technology, and advanced tools such as ClassVR, 3D printing, and laser cutting.

Inside the STEM Lab, students are not just learning concepts — they are applying them. Through project-based learning, students identify real-world problems, conduct research, and design their own solutions, building both technical skills and critical thinking along the way.

Student engagement has been strong, with learners actively participating in hands-on activities that encourage creativity, collaboration, and innovation.

That work was on full display during the school’s STEM Fair on March 17, held in the SMS Media Center. Students in grades 6 and 7 presented robotics and technology-based projects, showcasing their ideas, confidence, and growing skills.

Programs like this are helping prepare students for future careers while building a strong foundation in problem-solving and innovation.
