What is steampunk?  Steampunk is a mix between Victorian and mechanical gears and metallic pieces. Lucinda Burley 7^th grader said “I absolutely love steampunk!” On March 7^th 2013 Forrest Bird Charter School hosted a steampunk day where students in both charter schools can dress up in steampunk attire for the school day.

After school on March 7, 2013 at 5:30 pm, FBCS is also hosting Night of Culture were students in art and other classes show different steampunk inspired pieces. Jonah McGlothlin 7^th grader said, “I am very proud of my artwork.”

Many kids at the event made their own outfits such as Conrad Mearns, 9^th grade, he said about his costume, “It was kind of hard to make, but it turned out really cool.” The drama classes were dressed in outfits and performed different skits throughout the evening.

Steampunk is the new cool rage at FBCS, and we can’t wait to see what the students will do next.
