The elementary robotics program challenges students to put their engineering skills and teamwork to the test. Students are given a problem that they try to solve over the course of several months. Students from around the district then gather to celebrate their accomplishments and demonstrate their learning. At the celebration, students present their solutions on stage in front of a live audience.

In addition, students have the opportunity to demonstrate their learning in related areas including, but not limited to computer programming, video production, and engineering design.  Students also explore engineering facilities available to them as high school students. 

Our students regularly take advantage of the many opportunities at MES to demonstrate their passion and talent within the Performing Arts. For the past 15 years, we have sought out community partnerships to help fund annual after-school theater workshop programs. Over 50 of our fourth and fifth grade students participate in an intensive theater experience that culminates with live performances of a selected musical after eight weeks of rehearsals. We have expanded this work to include another theater workshop offered to over 35 of our third grade students annually. 

Husky TV is the elementary video production program at Manomet Elementary School, and is a tremendous source of pride for our entire community. Through this program, students explore advanced elements of television news broadcasting. Husky TV reporters learn the mechanics of video production including scriptwriting, reporting, camera techniques, and digital video editing. Students help us chronicle and celebrate all that goes on at the school as they videotape events such as school plays, MES PRIDE assemblies to reinforce our core values (Positivity-Respect-Integrity-Determination-Excellence), and less formal events throughout the year. Students learn techniques in audio and video recording, and become proficient in video editing using the most current and advanced editing software. Students in this class assist with pre-production, taping, and post-production of several stories about their school, while working to create a full television newscast for Manomet Elementary called Husky TV.  Students obtain authentic experience on camera and behind the scenes for Husky TV as it is broadcast to the school community and the entire town of Plymouth. All of this work culminates with an annual “red carpet” celebration and viewing for the community.
