2nd and 3rd Grade Makerspace - Natural Disaster Sustainability!

Students were challenged to build houses/buildings that would not fall down or get damaged or destroyed during a natural disaster such as a hurricane or earthquake.  We tested their final designs using fans, spray bottles filled with water, and a shake table that simulated an earthquake.  Here are some pictures:

4th Grade Makerspace - Smart Mini Mansions!

Students in 4th grade were given the task of designing and building mini-mansions with "smart home" features such as automatic thermostats, solar panels, wind energy, curtains that open and close with the touch of a button, etc.  They rose to the challenge and build some pretty amazing (and cool!) mansions.  Check out the pictures below!
