wait those electronics yeah that string
and construction paper and scissors and
we got pipe cleaners and all sorts of
booties over there and get rid of these
things and I would be dramatic and throw
it but I'm not going to it this is great
stuff
we're just brain boosting fun DIY
activities that you can do with the kids
at home
right okay exactly what have we got
right here cuz that just looks so so
what we wanted to do here is again we're
talking about DIYs and things that
caregivers can do at home with their
kids so we have a we have various wind
tunnels at the Newseum in our gallery
innovation station so here we've
recreated a wind tunnel to bring out on
the road in which we have two challenges
this is just a fan you know you get a
piece plastic piece of plastic acetate
paper to be precise you can get it out
of your local and then I have got coffee
filters in here just put it in there and
we have two challenges really we want to
create a learning environment in which
it's risk free there's no right or wrong
can you make something hover so in this
case like what do you see yours doing
he's fascinated I am yes so we have two
challenges here can you make something
hover and or can you make something soar
and there's just great ways of elevating
the challenges maybe you can talk about
how high it can hover how low can it
hover how high can it for what's this
now as well this is right up your alley
our galleries here I can help you yeah
all right and kids and caregivers yes of
soaring so investigating scientific
concepts the usage of sourced materials
from home right and again which is
everything is pretty much that the kids
are playing with in the
junk drawer exactly you know paper pens
a clue and all that kind of fun stuff
and we're where we were really inspired
to every time we work with kids and we
talk about the exploration of stem we
also want to focus on character so this
activity too is inspired by Rosie Revere
engineer in which Rosie is always
looking in a trash bin for various
materials what can I make what can I
create and she experiences failure in
this story but her aunt
giggles that her in theirs and she tells
her that there's no better try than your
first try so kids really experience
perseverance and grit through these
experiences now what are you guys
working out there making things that
will soar and hover that goes in here
[Music]
one of those going huh
so as there we go maybe you might want
to engage in asking them questions about
what are you or what are you observing
uh I'm kind of observing that it's not
going anywhere we talk about
improvements like or maybe what might
you do differently in the design Wright
brothers didn't make it up in there
should we put it in here right okay
with the tail on it so we'll put that in
there and see what happened okay the
Jews iam and you got a special going on
here the 11th five bucks off general
admission every day after three o'clock
at the Newseum yeah thank you very much
hey don't worry - OH - four four four
