Lower School Students Test Their Ideas at the Try It Truck
The sun came out and shone down on the Hiller campus on Tuesday morning when our Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade friends enjoyed a visit from the Bay Area Discovery Museum’s Try It Truck! This mobile maker space set up shop on the blacktop to give students the opportunity to imagine and create at stations outfitted with materials to build race cars and parachutes and test their cars and parachutes on ramps and in Vornado fan-powered wind tunnels, respectively.
Our students proudly showed off their designs to one another and their teachers and went back to tinkering with their models when they didn't work as expected. In addition to all of the creativity on display, it was wonderful to witness the collaboration and mutual support students showed to one another as a friend’s car made an epic run down the ramp or a classmate’s parachute reached new heights. We hope you have the chance to test out your student’s models with them this weekend or perhaps design some new creations together!
