Students were challenged to design and build a device that that their team could use to transport ping pong balls to a bucket without touching/throwing the balls or crossing the line.
They used gravity (science) to move the ball, invented a new device as a system to deliver the ball (technology), designed and built a device that would last for at least one minute and would successfully carry the ball (engineering), used every day materials creatively (arts), and measured distance to determine length (math).
They also incorporated problem solving, critical thinking, team work, and mostly importantly, time management since they only had 8 minutes to build their device.
Afterwards, the class evaluated their performances and discussed ways to improve their devices.
Congratulations to the team with the winning design: Addie, Cadence, Ashley, Angelene, and Isabella!!!
