Each year our school district hosts a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) day at the Mall. They usually take up about half of the open commons and walkways with displays and demonstrations of what they have been learning and working on for the past few months.
Grace had worked on a experiment of what would happen if you add coffee grounds to plants. So she had her plants at the mall, her write up of the experiment, and she gave the presentation to anyone who came by and asked about her board.
Glen had been working on building a solar race car. The solar race car also had a battery that was built in so that it could run inside the mall.
When it got to the mall, it had to have a few adjustments made to it to make it so that it could run.
He was so very focused on it, and determined to get it to run. I loved to see him working so hard on it. This was actually built by him and a few friends, but his friends could not make it to the event, so he was doing all of the final work by himself.
I love to see my kids coming up with ideas, experimenting, and finding ways to make things work.
