This is eight year old Collin’s version of a 1966 VW Beetle. From the description provided by his mom: It has eyelids that go up and down, wheels and hubcaps. The hubcaps can come off. Under the back hood there’s a picture of an engine and there’s a black paper license plate in the back. There’s a dashboard with a wicker place tray, a speedometer, a fuel gauge, and an ashtray that really opens. There are windshield wipers that move side to side. The windows are sheets of plastic. There are also pop-out windows on the doors. All of the parts are made out paper, pipe cleaners, cardboard and tape.
This is a robot of made of screws and metal parts by seven year old Zoe.
While both of our winners were randomly selected, the quality of their creations show how imaginative and resourceful kids can be. We loved all of the projects entered. They reaffirmed our belief that kids are great engineers with an eye for creative design. All of the entries can be found at our Galileo Learning Facebook page. Both Collin and Zoe won two free weeks at Camp Galileo this summer, along with passes to the de Young Museum and the Tech Museum. Congratulations Collin and Zoe!
Thank you to everyone who entered. For those who didn’t win, stay tuned for another opportunity to win two free weeks of camp!
