Joy's school hosted their annual science fair tonight. Joy's teacher instructed her students to partner up and design a simple toy using recyclable items (cardboard, plastic bottles, etc.) they brought from home. She also had the kids do all of their work in class, so parents wouldn't be tempted to do the project and write-up for their children.
Joy and her partner made a lifting toy. It's a simple desisn, but I was impressed with the amount of thought and experimentation the kids put into creating something that would do what they envisioned.
Of course, Engineer Daddy was curious about their work and asked lots of questions. We ended up staying five minutes after the fair ended, and we might have been there longer except that Joy's teacher pointedly mentioned that it was late and she hadn't had dinner yet.
