Living Above The Sharks - Day 5 - Week 1 (Mark Day School)

Our 24 students built a house on stilts, a zip line, a landing pad, a wobbly boat and an island this week. We took only half an hour this afternoon to celebrate the results and show off their accomplishments to friends and family, knowing the project will live on in the minds of these tinkerers. Each one of them took ownership of the project in their own way, tried harder than usual, made mistakes they learned from and so much more. Enjoy the photos from our week one project reveal, and thank you to everyone who pitched in to help in the take-apart at the end of the day!
