Eager young students at McKinley Elementary School. Our job as volunteers was to help them learn about the challenges of engineering.

SEES in full swing. By constructing towers from newspaper, paperclips, tape, and clothespins, the kids learned about construction, engineering, design, and how to best manage limited resources and time.

Newspaper towers under construction by kids and the volunteers helping them.

One of the finished towers; a true marvel of newspaper engineering.
