Sixth-grade students in Miss Sonya Gabbard's class used some entrepreneur skills for their latest project. Students had to build a prototype to help solve one of three problems. They could create an article of clothing that would keep someone safe after dark. Their device had to detect light level in order to activate. Second, they could have created an interactive room for the local recreational center. Their devices had to contain lights and sound. Finally, they could have created a device that would help remind and notify someone when to take their medication. It also had to contain either lights or sound. Students were able to develop very creative ideas. Some of them even went to the next step by thinking of ways they could use their device personally.

Sixth-grade students in Miss Sonya Gabbard's class are putting their engineering skills to work this week for their PLTW Safety Project. Students had to choose between three safety problems to solve. First, design an article of clothing to keep someone safe after dark. Second, design an area for our local recreational building that would be accessible to children. Third, design something that would dispense medication at various times. Students are required to design a prototype of their design. They have to program lights, sounds, and/or motors in their project. They will be required to present their designs next week.

A reminder that classes at South Dearborn Community Schools resume on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.
