Engineers are Successful in Helping Rapunzel Escape!

This week our K-2 engineers went to work constructing the escape designs they drew before Thanksgiving. They were eager to help Rapunzel escape from her tower! They only had 20 minutes to construct a way for her to escape! First they went shopping for materials.

                                     


Next they set to work cutting, twisting, clipping, tying and testing. You could literally see the "steam" coming out of their heads as they grappled with the challenge of not being able to use tape or glue.

        .      . 

Some needed to test their design and make modifications.

At the end of 20 minutes we gathered in a circle on the rug to present our designs and see how successful we were. Silent cheers went up all around as each student got a chance to explain their design and help Rapuzel escape!
