Inventors Club Winter 2014 - Week 3

Well, with this heat wave of freezing temperatures, we’re halfway through winter Inventors Club.  Now that the group work is done, all the students have started work on their personal projects.  They’ve drawn their ideas and gathered some supplies together, and now we get to spend the next three weeks bringing all their ideas to life. 

This is the part of the program where the kids really get to flex their creativity.  Now that they have ideas, they have to figure out how to make the supplies that are available meet their needs, and of course they have to solve any of the problems that inevitably arise when making.  Luckily we have a wonderful group of volunteer mentors to help with all that.

Whether they're bringing their expertise on a subject, learning something new alongside one of the students, or even just providing an extra set of hands or eyes, we couldn’t do what we do without them.

So, with both the morning and the afternoon groups off to a great start, we're excited to see their ideas in action.  It's going to be a fun 3 weeks!
