Gearheads











Today we did some work with a Design Squad challenge for Science. This was in particular dealt with a project for NASA. This, believe it or not, ties in directly with our study of the human skeletal system as it applies to robotics. I love watching these young scientific minds working with real working physics and engineering. Today's task: design a lunar lander that will land softly enough to protect the "human" (marshmallow) inhabitants within the container.

Tomorrow we will move on to Lunar Rovers, and I hope they go as well as today went. This was a lot of fun!
