Build! Build! Build!

Lots of innovating, arguing, contemplating, and laughter! Second week as a Maker Corps at the Cuyahoga County Public Library Southeast Branch was very different, wild, experimental, and fun all at the same time. We have an older age group which changes a lot of things in comparison to the first week of youthful tinkerers. This week majority of the kids are interestingly more into the woodworking aspect of the building, they are avid listeners and fast builders!

We had thought our week was running slightly behind due to little glitches in the Scratch program and introductions, but once it came to finally building the sculptures, it was like an immediate mind-to-sketch-to-physical sculpture process. This week, we tried something new by having fewer groups and more kids in each group. That way there were more hands and brains working together and it worked out extremely well since this week the kids are a little less experienced overall in the Scratch program and woodworking, but they definitely were not shy to learn about it all!
