5. Team 35216A All Girl Team Outreach Project

     We are an all girls team from Pizitz Middle School. We did an outreach to the Girl Scout program, and helped participants earn three badges. Our station demonstrated the use of an engineering notebook, and we helped the girls build a notebook about a robot who's task was to make a bed. Their job was to figure out what the robot had to do to acomplish this task, and what parts they would need to build it. The Scouts also compared the skills their robot would need to have, such as lifting, dropping, and moving around, to the skills of simple machines, like cranes or dump trucks. The last question they had to answer in the notebook was how to sketch out their robot. We also had biomimicry flashcards where the Girl Scouts tried to guess things in nature that simple machines were modeled after. For example, a cocklebur is like velcro or stickers.
