RollerCoasters, Bridge and Tower Building, even Paper Airplanes! We design test, and redesign until we come up with our best designs!
Mrs. Fredericks gave her 5th grade students a 3 Wheel Design Challenge! Watch Below!
You can try making your car with things found at home too!
Students designed and built their own parade floats (powered by our robots) for a Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Its Halloween Night and the skeletons want to get down from the cemetery...fast.
