All three kids had exceptional report cards at semester! Edison and Charlotte both had straight A's and Reed was doing awesome at so many skills in 2nd Grade, especially excelling at math. They got to choose a celebration dinner and we made our way to Olive Garden (mostly for the breadsticks, I think). Afterwards we saw a movie in the movie theater, a real treat!
On Sunday we were looking for something fun to do and found ourselves at Boeing's Future of Flight Museum. It has a cool view of the warehouses and airplanes under construction from a rooftop deck. Inside it looked pretty sparse at first glance, however they had a lot of interactive exhibits and the kids were very engaged for hours.
Bernoulli's Principle - Hand's On Version
Flying drones...
Learning about the shape of flight..
Simulating being an astronaut...
But hand's down, this was the kids' favorite. They get to design an aircraft and then fly it through a race course. They were getting really good at it. Edison and Reed both made it to the top of the leader board (more than once)!
And finally, the Ozobot robots. The kids have done these in school. Basically the robot will follow the line that is drawn and you can add commands into the line with colored dashes. The volunteer hosting the exhibit was really impressed with the kids' creations and kept praising their creativity. It was really fun to watch!
