Post Regional and Pre State Meeting Highlights

After regionals, I got off track posting after each meeting.  Let me catch up!

Here are some pictures from our 12/3/15 meeting. Oh, the elusive sorter! Still working to get it the right height, so that it won't tip, etc.



At our 12/09/15 meeting, the team did several team building exercises. For one, they had to build a basket with tape and pipe cleaners that could catch a ball when dropped while standing on a chair. Sounds simple enough. Not!



A weave pattern and using the tape sticky seemed to work best!

On 12/14/15, Ms. Norwood threw a celebratory/holiday party for the kids. They had fun with games and being Christmas trees.



On 12/16/15, I did a lecture on binary numbers. I just love having the kids flip their binary cards to create numbers! Look at the CS Unplugged website for more details.





On 12/17/15, we took the kids outside for more team building exercises.  They had to lead their blindfolded teammates through an obstacle course. How enlightening and funny! For now, the one picture, but I have videos that I need to find and share as well!







The kids also did an exercise to save me and Ms. Norwood from an overturned canoe on a river. A hose might do the trick!



We took a break for the holidays but are back in the new year ready to prep and compete!
