Our DI Lite Rising Stars group has kicked off and is up to the challenges their Managers are tossing their way. Today they had to create a bridge over "water" that would allow a "boat" to go under and that would span a distance longer than a pencil. They did a great job meeting the challenge. They learned how triangles are stronger than flat paper...they are so strong that cardboard is full of triangles!

The third graders are continuing working on the coding and MakeyMakey projects. This time, they are making game controllers in any way they want. They are developing a variety of games that these controllers can interact with. It's fun to see the creative juices flowing!
The kindergarten students enjoyed a variety of STEM centers today. There were a mix of building/engineering activities with some coding challenges. It's fun to see the brain building going on.
The fourth graders have completed their public service announcements relating to stopping animal abuse and neglect. Students researched facts and use Adobe.Spark to create their videos. They worked in their classroom on their chromebooks during class time and STEM time.
The third graders wrapped up their xylophones and are working on remixing the code on a xylophone program or coding their own music programs on Scratch. This is such a fun extension of their science unit on electricity. The first graders designed, created and presented their own Thanksgiving Day Parade Floats. They came to the MakerSpace with their designs drawn and used our STEM time and MakerSpace materials to make their creations. When they finished, they presented their holiday floats to their peers. The fifth graders were so anxious to get back into the MakerSpace and work on their prototypes. |
