๐ Kindergarten Engineers at Work! ๐๏ธโจ
Our Felix A. Williams kindergarteners had an amazing time in the PLAYS Lab as they explored a hands-on construction challenge!
Students worked together to plan, build, and problemโsolve just like real professionals in the field. We talked about the important jobs that make construction possible, including electricians, project managers, and planners, and our young learners stepped right into those roles with teamwork and creativity.
From drawing blueprints to collaborating on structures, these little builders showed big imagination and even bigger perseverance. Weโre so proud of how they communicated, shared ideas, and brought their designs to life!
๐ง๐ทโโ๏ธ Future creators, innovators, and community builders- right here at FAWE! ๐๐
