First graders are continuing their cardboard study and looking at the ways we can use paper tubes. I love doing this as a mini-design thinking project where they make a prototype robot that will perform a task for someone in their life who needs a little help. It helps us to introduce the idea of designing for others and considering their needs instead of our own.
This year we had a mensch-bot, lovey bot, and homework bot. This was also a great way to practice using a pencil tip to poke holes in cardboard, an invaluable skill.
