Engineering Challenge!
We had our first
STEM engineering activity on Thursday for Westward Ho! The task was to create
an emigrant covered wagon out of a shoebox and MakerSpace supplies. The goal
was to make it sturdy enough to carry a heavy load. The three downstairs
rooms were all abuzz with the sound of eager, engaged, determined students.
Each of the eight groups of first through fourth graders came up with a unique,
well thought out plan. We used water bottles as weights and some of the wagons
could hold all nine bottles! Watch for a blog that features our collaborative
groups of engineers with their designs.
