Baby Yoda Zipline Distance Learning Engineering Challenge
My students really enjoyed getting off the computer and using their space in an inventive way. Our extended fall lockdown turned into pretty cool challenges - buy-in is with making a mess and smashing things into the wall, in the name of research. "I am doing a school project! Friction, tension, mass and some engineering design are crosscut in all the problem solving.Students choose a character/action figure, design a cart and zipline.Add some youtube video examples - I can't use my flipgr
