Have you ever noticed that the older a child is, the more sophisticated the “play”. Last Thursday we had a brief school wide power outage-right at the end of the 5th grade's STEM class...right as I asked them to save their complete or nearly completed Excel projects. Today we tried to open them. Most didn’t have all their hard work updated and some were completely corrupted frustrating everyone. So what did we do when we were thrown a curve-ball-we had an unplanned session in the MakerSpace. I love watching how the 5th graders used many of the materials that the littlest kids use. I love their discussions, collaborations, and complex projects. I especially loved the smiles on their faces.
