Girl Scout Engineering Day at Miami University is like no other. Earn 4 badges in one day by going from one area to another learning new topics. The program sets up one Math ,one Computer ,and two Science Badges all wrapped up in a pretty bow. I took Brenda to this activity last year and she still talked of her experience fondly when I announced that I would take Bret this year. We made paper, learned about acids and bases, learned about and made our own cookie form of asphalt; learned math tricks, worked on Geometric Shapes, used problem solving to form words on calculators; learned about simple machines, made goop, checked out our finger prints. We learned about the machines that their school uses to design programs, make cars, stretch metal. We learned to use Windows Word. Such a day like this, all kids could have every week, they would not complain about school.
Also if you remember me talking about how Bret was bullied at summer camp this last summer by some other Girl Scouts who thought no one was looking... one of those bullies were there at Girl Scout Engineering Day. Bret pointed her out to me. I told Bret let that be a lesson. If you do wrong and think no one will ever find out... Someone always remembers.
