Mini Culmination

What a great way to end the week! After spending the morning practicing calculations with Ohm's law, this afternoon we complete our final set of mini-culminations. The improvements we have seen in teamwork, collaboration, communication and planning are truly impressive. Two groups participated in the alternative energies challenge where they designed a system that harnessed wind power to move a rocket fuselage along a mag lev track. Interestingly, both groups took advantage of their knowledge of robotics to assist in this process. The other two groups completed their shuttle system miniculmination which focused extensively on communication and teamwork. If you'd like to see some of their challenges, visit this site.

In other news, no math homework until after Mission to Mars. Have a great weekend!
