Small Numbers / Big Progress

The Thursday After School Slide Builders are so close to finishing their working slide!

Today we set the goals of putting the platform in the air, as well as figuring out how to attach the slide. And even though we were missing some Tinkerers this week, everyone worked together to make tons of progress!

Some awesome team drilling / screwing together the base for our slide platform!

At the end of the session, the Tinkerers show off their airborne platform. With some final adjustments, next week we will be able to use our project for the first time!
