Atlanta Primary School students are combining learning and fun this summer through MindWorks educational program during BLAST.
Throughout the school year, BLAST students participated in a variety of programs and this summer began working on Future Builders, where they were able to “step into the roles of architects, engineers, and city planners to create designs that challenge physics, defy gravity and shape the future.”
This week, students learned what it takes to build floating cities through creative lessons including testing the buoyancy of foam in water, placing pennies on the foam until it sank.
