In my "free" time I am coaching a team of 7 elementary school kids (3rd - 6th Grade) for an Odyssey of the Mind team. It is pretty cool to see how they learn and work through problems. The big thing is that I or any other adult cannot give them any answers to how to solve the problems. We can answer their questions. We have a lot of Socratic discussion and even if they don't find there way to the solution that I had in mind, they do find a solution.
We are building an 8" tall tower out of balsa wood and we are going to drop weights on it. It should be fun. I will post pictures when we actually do it in Mar.
