During sixth grade orientation at Pierson Middle School, science teacher Bill Raney led students through a series of engaging team-building activities designed to foster collaboration and problem-solving skills. During one challenge, teams were asked to build the tallest possible tower using LEGO bricks, with each layer being a single color and the structure standing on its own without human support. Other prompts encouraged creative thinking, communication and teamwork, giving students a fun and interactive introduction to the science classroom and their classmates.
