About This Activity
NO CLASS ON JUNE 19, 2024 Back by popular demand. Ms McLeod, Dublin Elementary teacher is offering her “sold-out” after school class this summer! Does your student love to build? Then this is the summer class for them. “KEVA planks” are about 1/4 inch thick, 3/4 inch wide and 4 1/2 inches long. You build structures by simply stacking the planks. No glue, no connectors. They can be stacked upright which looks like it would be unstable as a house of cards, but even this type of structure is surprisingly stable.” Each day, class will begin with individual building challenges, move to group challenges and then finish up with free time for building. During challenge activities, students will practice different problem solving techniques as well as learning to work cooperatively in a group. Along the way they will learn some basic engineering, architectural, math and science skills. Students can do both session A and session B as there will be different challenges.
