The kids worked on The Sweeper, which is a vehicle with a mechanical fan-like object attached to its front. The Sweeper clears the path in front of it as it moves, which is where the name comes from. Although this was a bit more challenging than other projects, the kids enjoyed their time and finished their projects. The Sweeper allows the children to learn how mechanical objects can be combined and manipulated in order to serve a specific role, and is thus a good engineering practice.
Next week the kids will be working on fun project called The Skywheels.
