LIBRARY UPDATE: “Power Hour – Eggs Dropped”

October 14, 2019 By Salmon Library Staff Leave a Comment

Pioneer Elementary Outreach

Learning shouldn’t be this fun! Or should it?! Our STEAM program (Switch) had shortened school week to work with last week when we visited Pioneer Elementary, so we did a one-week quick challenge. The classic Egg Drop. Added in some constraints like a budget to buy supplies, gave the team time to plan, design, & build. These were the fabulous results!

We loved seeing the youth be engaged with each project that got tested through predictions of whether it would pass/fail and why. If you’re not convinced at their excitement, watch this video of one of the teams “testing”

A quick debrief after it was all over brought in some real-world applications of protective equipment, seat belts, helmets, and how we re-iterate if at first we didn’t succeed. Next week it’s all about patterns in Nature!
