Hi, we are the kids from the Sunday school of the Baltimore Ethical Society (BES). We have created this blog to keep people informed about ethical happenings, and so that we can post our art, poems, and stories that we create. We vary in age; some of us are 12, others are as young as 4.
For the past month students have been working collaboratively on creating their own version of a Rube Goldberg Machine. They've been working on understanding physics, expanding their problem solving skills, working with each other in communicating their opinions and ideas, and experimenting with different ways to make their project go. Since we have students of different ages ranging from 6-12 each child brings their own experience and knowledge with building things to create the project.
We've been viewing some videos of various Rube Goldberg projects from puppy dogs to giant ones, to ones that included women as creators. The video below shows Parkour Athlete Jason Paul - and his giant contraption.
We'll be adding a few photos and video from our project as well as some other wonderful examples of this mixture of art and science. So check back.
In part three of the interview done by Camille Henley - Kate addresses the important issue of how do we help deal with some of the issues in our community - in our city.
We recently posted part one of this three part interview by Camille Henry on the VLog Page of this blog. In this second interview - Kate discusses her feelings on political unrest and humanitarian crisis in Syria.
