Grafton’s Kindergarten through 4th-grade students love creating in the Maker Space. They use the engineering design process to tackle fun challenges. The latest project was harvesting pumpkins!
Armed with plastic forks, spoons, tape, and craft sticks, the students designed creative devices to harvest and transfer pumpkins efficiently to the truck. Watching them think, build, test, and improve their designs was incredible! The students worked through the design process, enhancing their creations with each step and learning how engineers think in the real world!
This project has resulted in fantastic collaboration between schools. Jayce Stone 3D printed the pumpkins they "harvested" at JCHS in the high school Maker Space!
Watch for more exciting Maker Space projects at Grafton. Mrs. Nurnberger has the students working on teamwork challenges, and Lego builds.
