There is something special about watching kids use their creativity to figure out how to solve a problem. The challenge this week was to Build a Vehicle.
We have made balloon-powered vehicles before, so I thought trying a rubber-band powered vehicle might be a lot of fun. I found this one at PBS Kids Design Squad (awesome site) and gave the kids general instructions on what was needed. 1 piece of cardboard, 2 wheels, 1 axle, 1 rubber band. From there, they could get creative, and boy did they!
