Friday, May 4th, was not only International Star Wars Day, it was also
Forest Creek's annual Science Day! Students were able to bring out
their inner scientist and explore in many different stations. Students
were able to create IO Machines (Input Output Machines) in the computer
lab. The website encourages students to "brush up on your geometry,
dust off your protractor, and architect a machine only you could have
dreamt of." When visiting the website, students are confronted with a
blank area on top of a grid. With only three buttons (toolbox, play,
and new machine) and no instructions, students were able to figure out
how to get a ball from one side of the screen to the other side. The
teachers joined in on the fun and the students were thrilled to see how
much longer it took the teachers to figure it out. The students had a
great time building their machines. The website is linked here. Please note that a Google account is required to play.
