Fifth Graders at Sandy Creek Participated in The Hovercraft Project
October 10th, 2023 by Jessica Sorell
A team of fifth-graders race across the gymnasium on their hovercraft.
Sandy Creeks gymnasium was filled with enthusiastic fifth graders as they teamed up to build and race on a hovercraft.
The first half of the day focused on creativity and problem solving, while the second half was spent executing plans and putting the students hard work to the test through a series of races.
The fifth graders utilized communication, teamwork, and collaboration to build, problem solve, experience conflict resolution, learn how to operate as a team and apply classroom knowledge to a problem with limited tools.
Numerous teachers, staff and administrators observed from the sidelines until they were asked to join in on the fun, giving the students a chance to team up with an adult of their choice.
This fully immersive STEM experience was made possible because of The Hovercraft Project.
