Ice-Cream, Paper Clips and GoNoodle!

What a fun day at camp!  The space at Capital Factory was incredible.  I joked about using the space for my new school!  #ifonlyihadaninvestor.  The 'workers' (AKA me, Jessica Fuselier and 3 high school students) arrived close to 7:30 with a cart stacked with 'stuff'.  Wish I had got a picture of that!  We set everything up and then went downstairs to meet the kids!  That was one of the highlights of the day. 

We started with introductions: I now know everyone's favorite ice-cream.  I want to go to James' house and try the kiwi ice-cream.  Interesting...

Our next ice-breaker involved a paper-clip. Yes, you heard it right a PAPERCLIP!  Last week I was lucky enough to attend @SXSWEdu and happened upon a session led by the @SI_Invention.  As attendees we were asked to think of what else a paperclip could be...  It seemed a lot easier for these young minds this morning than for mine last week!  We had a hairclip, hoverboard for gnats, a bubble wand, a lock picker and much more! 

Next we moved on to centers and were all able to experience Scratch, CS Unplugged activities, Robotics and the Innovation table!

All that with a sprinkling of GoNoodle and Odd Squad. 

We can't wait for tomorrow!  We will be adding some NXT robotics, Lego Story Starter kits with a dab of Stop Motion,  Snap Circuits and Goldieblox
.  Want to be sure to keep things interesting..
