2 Weeks Down and Loving Legos
We're starting week 3 of Club 21 today, and we've been having a blast so far! Don't forget, there is no school (and no club) for students this Friday, 10/9, and next Monday, 10/12. Enjoy the 4 day weekend!
Last week, we had our first Maker Monday. We're going to set up a makeshift makerspace every Monday, and Club 21 learners will complete projects and challenges and basically just make stuff. Makerspaces, sometimes also referred to as hackerspaces, hackspaces, and fablabs, are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent, and learn.
Also during week 2 we constructed Lego homes, created our own comic strips, designed and built Lego boats that could float in water and bridges that could hold weight, put together Lego mosaics, and more. One of our favorite days of the week is Freestyle Friday. We pick our top 3 activities and get to choose what we do for the day. We're looking forward to what week 3 has in store!

First Week Wrap Up
Better late than never (since we're already on day 2 of week 2), but here's a quick recap of week 1...
We spent a lot of time on team building activities, learned about the staff and students through various activities and challenges (like "Find a Friend" Bingo, getting to know you M&M game, and more), got familiar with the schedule and expectations of Club 21, and more.
Here are a few pics from last week...

We each wrote 5 of our personal strengths on 5 strips of paper. When we put them all together, we made this huge paper chain showing our strength as a team. |
We created Lego self portraits to show off our style and favorite activities and hobbies. |
We had to collaborate and communicate to construct the tallest tower possible out of paper alone in an engineering team challenge. |
To discover which group we were working with on various collaborative activities, we had to take puzzle pieces and fit our names to our team's puzzle. |
