Wednesday night – hands on

Another beutiful morning. Dianen and I got out for a quick hike in the beutiful snow.. before its supposed to dissapear due to coming rain

 

Around midday I met up with my friends Beth, Shannon. Lelani , Rayan and Biannca who were working with some kids on some cool science visualization toys that Beth had found.  One of the projects used mechanical devices to show circuit concepts. . A kid (or adult) could build simple mechanical circuits to understand the physics of what was going on.
THe second set used falling ball bearings to explain digital logic.You could build up simeple logic circuits and understand the boolean calculation that was going on. 

For both of these , The constructed projects were beautiful and fun to play with.

We had several kids there evaluating the learnign toys. 
I think these would be great to use in small groups. I’m hoping to get muy friends Greg’s view of them when i’m back in at work

nite all, nite sam
