Mission to Mars! - Day 3 - Mark Day School

Another fun day of building! And it got off to a hilarious start :) One of our tinkering school goals is "make mistakes and learn from them." Well we had an all time classic on our hands :)

A group of our tinkerers spent several minutes diligently building only to accidentally discover what happens when you build a circle around a pole that can't be moved... 

The lesson from this mistake might fall under the category of choose your workspace wisely... :)

There was all kinds of other great mistakes made throughout the rest of the day too.  We learned from them and in the process created some awesome additions to our spaceship and martian colony.

After a full day of building, its important to relax and let loose in the crew's quarters. Looking forward to see what this hardworking crew put together tomorrow!
