STEAM Club by Rachel C. and Vaaridhi R.

Editor's note: STEAM Club was one of the Six Weeks Clubs offered last fall. Be watching for a list of Six Weeks Clubs to be offered next semester.

 

 

STEAM Club is a fun place where kids can have fun, build stuff, and solve problems. It teaches you what it feels like to be an engineer. It makes you think really deep and it will help you come up with more ideas. STEAM Club provides a fun learning place for kids to be enjoying their time. There are so many activities. For example: when we made a boat. We had to use straws and plastic raps only to make a   boat that could hold the most pennies. We also made rubber band balls using rubber bands, foil, or paper. The rubber band ball that went the highest was the ball that won. We also made a catapult, and we did an egg drop. We even got to make a tower that could hold the most square tiles. It  had to be at least 4 inches tall and made out of spaghetti and marshmallows. For the egg drop, we used a coffee filter, a cup, plastic bags, wrapping paper, rice krispie cereal, and rubber bands. The catapult was made from a lot popsicle sticks, rubber bands, a spoon, glue, and a marshmallow. Our goal was to launch the marshmallow the farthest. We think that the catapult was the best challenge because it was the biggest challenge and you had to think really deep. STEAM Club is a place for learning new things while having tons of fun. We covered science, technology, engineering, art, and math at the same time.
