7th/8th grade design challenge

Students had fun choosing their own teams and creating a 1 x 5 board design challenge.  They had three work days and 10 boards (plus scraps) to build anything they wanted.  This team wanted to honor their friend with the letters LLA, Long Live Amare.

7th/ 8th grade hummingbird linkages project

These students worked diligently to create a motion beyond what the motor makes on its own by using linkages to recreate an animal's motion.  They coded the motors from our Hummingbird robotics kit and were very artistic in their animal creations.

Box City Project

February 4th - 7th 2013
Paul Hammock from the Atlanta Preservation Center came and worked with Junior Academy Students.  He discussed issues surrounding architecture and urban planning.  Students learned about different types of buildings (residential, commercial, civic, and industrial).  Then student drew up plans for their own building for our imaginary model city.  Next students created their buildings using boxes.  Students voted for the placement of their buildings with-in our mock city based on the needs of the community.
