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..
