Did you know girls’ school students are more likely to pursue careers in engineering? Ashley Hall is helping pave the way with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) as an integral part of the Intermediate School curriculum. Our 5th grade girls designed an intelligent irrigation system to keep the campus flower beds in bloom all summer. An arduino micro chip collects data from a soil moisture sensor. When the moisture level drops below 50%, a valve opens which allows water to drain from the rain barrel to the garden via the soaker hose. In art class, the girls decorated the rain barrels and even made the mini Shell House enclosure for the arduino system.
Seven students from Ashley Hall’s Applied Lessons program participated in South Carolina’s first every Royal Conservatory of Music piano exams held at the University of South Carolina in late May. The students earned internationally recognized certificates and first class honors for performance and technical exercises. They also demonstrated their keen sight reading skills and sharp ear training. The young musicians study piano with Dr. Elsa Dixon and Anna Brock, Ashley Hall piano faculty.
