WeDo ArtBots 2.0

Fourth graders had a very challenging engineering task today! They designed a robot that can be programmed to create art. There were no plans to follow - they used their knowledge of gears and Lego mechanics in order to build a unique robot. We actually focused on our mistakes today and used what didn't work to figure out and re-design. Check out our "reflect and re-design" projects by watching the video!

Dome Day!

Fourth graders continued their exploration of architecture and engineering today as we examined and built domes. Ever wonder how strong an egg is? You might be surprised at how the shape strengthens the brittle shell. Check out the busy, teamwork-filled day by watching the video.

Inspirational Similes

Today 5th graders had the challenge of adding power to words. Given two unrelated nouns - they were to create an inspirational quote that somehow connects them. Check out their words!
