About a month ago, I had the pleasure of creating a new annual family event for my school called BUILD WITH ME. I synced this event with NJ makers day. We became designers with the Engineer Design Process, manipulating materials to afford new uses to them. I think my favorite part was watching the families enjoy the time with their children creating. After reading the story ROSIE REVERE, ENGINEER, my 2nd grade students, along with their family designed their own paper balloon hovercraft. My 3rd grade students and families read the book BUILDER BROTHERS BIG PLANS. Our school is currently adding an addition, so in this activity students got to design their own version of the school. Then, using green screen and the Doink app, lay it over a photoshop version of our school lot, where only their model exists.
