Pneumatic Tubes | Makers Lab

I have always been enthralled when visiting the bank drive through. I love placing my items into the capsule and watching it whoosh away and drop into the bank. Pneumatic tube systems have been used for well over one hundred years - even before electricity! 

One team of students created their own pneumatic tube system in the Makers Lab recently! Check it out below!

Rube Goldberg Machines | Makers Lab

We began creating Rube Goldberg machines after the winter break. The students learned about chain reactions and we set them loose! Here is one of our teams with their finished project!

FAB Day | Part 2

Our students are thriving in the Makers Lab. Creativity is abounding and students are digging into the challenges presented. To kick it up a notch, we decided to hold a one-day school-wide event. 

FAB Day was born! FAB, short for fabrication, allowed students to explore their interests while creating a wild array of projects. Here is a glimpse of what we did!

Creating a Lego town.

Choreographing a new dance routine.

Puppetry fun!
