Students in Fieldston Upper’s Applied Engineering Students in Fieldston Upper’s Applied Engineering Research class spent the year ideating, prototyping, and manufacturing their own inventions, each of which is designed to solve a problem in the world. 

Ranging from low-tech study timers to ergonomic airplane seats, the inventions were often a labor of love for the students, informed by their particular passions and life experiences. For many in the class, the project was also a culmination of their engineering career at Fieldston, as this year’s senior class was the first to take the full 7th-12th Grade engineering curriculum at Fieldston Middle and Upper. 

Check out Tuesday’s edition of Fieldnotes to learn more about each invention and the engineers who created them!
Fieldston Lower’s Spanish Assembly was filled with Fieldston Lower’s Spanish Assembly was filled with smiles and singing as students and faculty honored music from Spanish-speaking countries! Each grade performed a song for the community, and several students even showed their talents by performing solos or a duet. The atmosphere was joyous as students and faculty danced and celebrated together!
Congratulations to the Fieldston “Froshmore” Rube Congratulations to the Fieldston “Froshmore” Rube Goldberg team, who were crowned World Champions in the high school division of the Rube Goldberg World Championship on Saturday!

The students’ machine, “The Goldberg Museum,” was inspired by an art heist and featured dozens of steps, exciting theming, and brilliant engineering as their fictional burglar raced to steal the crown jewels in under two minutes. Their ingenuity and creativity were on full display in the contest, which featured over 100,000 students representing 12 countries! In addition to the World Championship, the team received the “Most Ridiculous” award and the “Best Final Step” award.

Congratulations to the entire team, to all of the students who participated in Fieldston’s Rube Goldberg Program this year, and Dr. Church, whose leadership has helped create this strong program!
Eagles, you made so many memories at Fieldston. We Eagles, you made so many memories at Fieldston.
