Well, we wrapped up core clasess with making neuroscience T-shirts, dry ice bubbles and boats, water bottle rockets, making a digestive system for food to pass through, finalized our Android apps, and created bird beaks to identify which would be best for collecting food.
Then the girls were challenged with constructing a Rube Goldberg machine which is an over-complicated machine that accomplishes a simple task. Talk about learning from our mistakes- this lesson truly embodies the concept that one is not successful without many failures. These girls are so impressive! Their creations are implementing a wide range of scientific concepts and solutions. I am so proud to see them put what they are learning from their core classes into practice.
Following this we were honored to meet several Professional Women who work in the field of STEM. They presented their profession and shared how they got to be where they are today with the girls. This was truly an inspirational evening.
At the end of the day we continued to work on our final presentations, journal about the day, and participated in the Dorm Mom activities.
