Last week's challenge winners!
This is not at all what I expected when I said "Build the tallest tower possible".
This group collaborated well and definitely thought outside the box.
Congrats 8th graders!
We did a LOT this week! Our students conducted investigations into :
STEM bridge building
Students were asked to create the longest bridge possible with a few catches:
1. They must use every supply
2. It must resemble a bridge as much as possible.
3. Students must collaborate with all partners at the station.
Robot making
The DEF grant helped GATE purchase a couple of robotic arms. Students worked collaboratively to put them together at the Robotics station.
Tristan shows how he made a gear for the robot.
3D Doodler Pen Artwork
Most students this week focused on 2D art, with a few students moving up to 3D art. Students were allowed to follow stencils to help them create their artwork.
Literacy challenges
This is a silent challenge. Students can only express themselves with their marker... with one catch. They are responsible for only one word at a time. Students must think outside the box as they react to their partner's changes to the story. They had a great time!
Computer Programming challenge
Students logged into their coding accounts and began working through challenges. Several students are high enough on their accounts where they can begin designing basic coding-block games.
