Engineering, math and technology

This week's challenge:  build a bridge using cups and tongue depressors,

how many animals can your bridge hold? 

The activity was based this true story about the construction
of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.

We had all kinds of designs that could hold a lot of animals.

We're working our way through our coding program.  The kids
are doing a good job!

The math mentors worked on writing equations with us.  We came up
with lots of ways getting a sum of 10.

We love it when the big kids come in to work with us.  This week it was engineering bridges and working on math facts.  It is such a positive experience to watch these kids working together.  When the mentors are not with us, we're learning about polar animals and their habitats.
