Finished Sculpture!


After cutting out and assembling their animal sculptures the Innovators were ready to paint. Using acrylics they painted a base coat then added designs. The final step was a coat of Mod Podge to give the sculptures a seal coat. They came out awesome!

Crazy busy week

The Innovators had another busy week with lots of time in the Makerspace working on sculpture and building domes for science as well as a field trip AND a Valentine's party. 



The sculptures are inspired by the work of Terrell Powell and made of wood. So far the kids have constructed and primed them. Up next some fun color!



At Concrete Technology Corporation the Innovators learned about what engineers do and how 
prestressed concrete is formed to make bridges, tunnels and even floating piers. They toured the plant and even got to mix their own concrete which will be stress tested.




For the Valentine's Day party the Innovators got to make heart crafts, share valentines with their friends then, of course, eat some great treats supplied by our wonderful parents.
