5G: Solar Boat Videos are HERE!

As the trimester starts coming to an end, the 5th graders are hard at work putting final touches on their solar boats for the HELCO 5th Annual Solar Boat Regatta being held this Saturday, May 12 from 8 am till noon at the Hilo Intermediate School patio and field area. I hope that you’ll join us in watching our students compete against other Big Island schools. They will be competing on areas such as best use of recycled materials, most creative, best engineering and design, school spirit, best report and of course the fastest times.

With completing a boat, students are also integrating technology with Ms. Richardson by creating their own iMovie about their boats. Students are required to have pictures of their groups working on the boat, pictures and videos of their boats and to provide advice on materials to use, working in groups, how to solve problems, and overall advice for next year’s 5th graders.

I’ve added a menu page at the top of my blog and posted all the students videos. Please take a look at their iMovie projects and their finished solar boats.
