About the Project
Building Buddies is the most anticipated and engaging part of a very long day of TK and kindergarten! The students have the freedom to explore many different hands on engineering activities. It is an opportunity for our students to cultivate interpersonal relationships and perfect those all important social interactions by practicing communication skills required to maintain a working relationship. They are required to find a partner, work through the design process, problem solve, and ask for direction when needed. The project incorporates the school community with a monthly invitation for parents to create and build with their students.
