California International School is an IB candidate school, pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students.
* Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programs:
The Primary Years Program (PYP), the Middle Years Program (MYP), the Diploma Program (DP), or the Career-related Program (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.

STEM Project
1. Choose a STEM project to make and present to the Head of School. You may choose from this list of ideas or one of your own ideas.
2. Write out your procedures. What exact steps did you use to build this project?
3. You must be able to explain why the STEM activity works. What is causing the action to take place, for example:
• Design a working zipline for a plastic toy out of string and drinking straws.
• Make a bridge for miniature animals using craft sticks and binder clips.
• Build a car using a plastic bottle, wooden skewers, straws, rubber bands and power it with a balloon.
• Build a catapult that can launch a pebble using any outdoor materials you can find.
• Make a marshmallow catapult using pencils, rubber bands, a milk jug cap, pipe cleaners, and a tissue box.
• Make a trampoline using a colander, rubber bands, binder clips, toothpicks, and stretchy material.
• Make a tower strong enough to hold a basketball using only newspaper and tape.
• Recreate the 8 land and water formations using Legos.
