We had a really great time getting to know the students today at Summer Laureate. We had a chance to begin talking about change in the future with various activities. Students designed and built towers that could hold a camera on Mars. Even though many designs did not hold the weight, students learned that engineers learn from failure and are able to make changes in the future.
The students also had an opportunity to sketch a portrait of how they see themselves in the future. We took this assignment to the next level as students animated their portraits using Chatter Pix Kids to make their picture talk. See this link below (best to use an iPad or iPhone) and watch some of their ideas!
