It’s hard to say what moment of the seventh grade trip was most captivating. For students, many of whom had only passed through the Mississippi Gulf Coast while traveling, the March 8-9 overnight trip was eye-opening. Thanks to staff from the University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Lab and the Institute of Marine Mammal Studies, the trip was educational, too.
New encounters for JA students generated many questions for USM Research Lab Director Ben Weldon and 20 staff and research students. During a three-mile hike from Ship Island’s Gulf side to the west side, students found live crabs, shark teeth, vegetation, animal remains, numerous shells, a molted horseshoe crab, a moon jelly fish, black sediment on the beach that comes from the Rocky Mountains, and a coconut with coral and barnacles attached.
“It was cool to see animals I had not seen before,” said Michael Hogue. He was especially interested in the horseshoe crab and how arthropods molt.

When the STEM crew finished production this week, the Raider Racer sported a blue and white exterior. Of course, what other colors would do?
Jackson Academy fourth graders are designing, building, and racing an electric car. The new program at JA is one way of fostering interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. This initiative is part of a program called Greenpower that seeks to advance education of technology and sustainable engineering. Besides learning teamwork, students become more aware of how various challenges of society can be solved through engineering and other STEM related fields.
Every fourth grader will have an opportunity to drive the Raider Racer, which runs 17-18 miles per hour. “The same sentiment was expressed by each of the children after they drove it around the football field: ‘It went a lot faster than I thought it would!’,” said Cliff Powers, Lower School STEM teacher.
Ultimately, the top driver of each fourth grade class may compete to become the one JA driver at a competitive Greenpower race with students from other schools. Currently JA is in conversations with another Greenpower school in Huntstville, Alabama, that participates in races. Greenpower is primarily in the United Kingdom and held it first event in 1999. Greenpower now works with 500 schools and 8,000 students in the UK, according to the organization’s website.
JA has plans to increase its fleet with cars designed for Middle School students.
