Code Divas get a surprise...

After the tough competition and with the break coming up, the ladies were surprised with a party instead of practice. They started with an engineering challenge: building a snowman from a few materials to meet the given criteria. In each progressive round, the challenge became increasingly difficult. Eventually, they were left with no other alternative but to combine their resources and work together. The ladies then enjoyed a snack and some laughs. It was a very nice afternoon.

getting physical with atoms

To learn about atomic particles and their charges, we played a very physical game. Protons add a point. Neurons are neutral. Electrons subtract a point. Teams had to strategize about how to get the highest overall point value. Oh, and we played boys vs. girls!

3rd graders learn to carefully control variables.

They only change one variable at a time.
