Scientist Hanna

The "Stick Bot" is Hanna's patented invention that "picks up garbage.
It sticks to him when there's garbage on the ground."
"Stick Bot" made from a phone, tape, paper towel dowel, etc. Her "take-apart" was the hardest thing at Science Camp. The kids had to bring something that could be taken apart and then invent something using the parts. Hanna got frustrated one of the days because she couldn't think that "hard, hard, hard."!
"The Super, Duper, Roller Coaster" made by Hanna's group. The kids used things to build a roller coaster by experimenting with different heights for various speeds for the marble.
Alizah and Piper really liked this one!
The MARS rover. Each group had to make a rover and experiment with the different environments on Mars. Hanna said the most important thing they had to make sure
and have on Mars was a bathroom...

Camp Invention was a great experience for Hanna. She enjoyed the arts & crafts and building the Sludge City/Recycling Town best. I think she takes after me and is more English/Arts inclined. I also think she thought the week would be more test tube science projects, but it was good to get her thinking "outside the box" and working with different kids as a team. I loved being able to let her be apart of a science project and sure appreciate all those who gave her money for her birthday so that she could go!!
