BRYAN EATON/Staff photo. Austin Palladino, 10, counts pennies into a boat he created out of aluminum foil sitting in a tub of water to see how many he can put in before it sinks as Heidi Sanger, 10, watches after testing out her design. They were in Newbury Elementary School's new Makerspace Room which is used for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) projects and was created using grant money from the Institution For Savings. Each week students are given a new challenge to work on using STEM's design cycle.
