Of Cedar and Salmon has been a two day immersion into the culture of the Pacific North West 1st Nations. We have heard stories, touched pelts, made a headband and a mask, screen printed t-shirts, explored museum boxes, and learned a dance to perform at the potlatch. So many pictures, but it was worth documenting. We are all looking forward to the potlatch tonight. Pictures of Bumblebees and Ms. Mimi courtesy of Joy Maeng.

 Gumdrop bridges. The physics of bridge building. Students had to consider weight and force, on and off ramps. They used engineering to construct and test their structures for accessibility by the cars and strength to hold the bridge up as well as the car. They had to be aware of limited resources and the importance of length over height.  Did they taste the gumdrops at the end of the work? Um...yes!
