ALA Pre-Eweek Preparation

Big Idea: Bluedots and Picos prepare their work for E-week.

Time: Wednesday, February 15, 2006

participation: Bluedots and Picos

Gameplan: Today is the last week for the teens to finish their projects for E-week. Since the Bluedots have their own station, they worked together towards building their projects. Lauren thought of the idea to make the Spin Tables, but unfortunately she was sick and wasn't able to put the rest of the spin tables together. Fortunately, the other Bluedots pitched in to find the design and lego parts, write the program, and build the machines. After much hard work the Bluedots completed four spin tables. Now the big question for the Bluedots, will it work?!?
The Picos were also putting in major effort to get their first Kinectic Sculptures to work while displayed on the floor. This will be the first time the Pico teens will be displaying their work on their own. They will have to answer various guest questions and explained their work thoroughly. Everyone worked so hard and deserve major kudos for all their effort.
