Today we used what we learned yesterday about construction and friction
in our projects. After doing some activities to learn more about gears and
pulleys, we put everything together with a device which spins one or more
of the figures (LEGO people). Once this task was complete, the campers used
their knowledge of gears and pulleys along with a motor to construct a solar
powered vehicle. (Thank goodness for sunny weather!) Then we used solar panels
to power a trolley car that traveled along a suspended string. Today we began
to see the emerging creativity in construction of devices and vehicles along
with excellent team work.
