2. Yi Min's Great WalL (and a walk)
Next, the 2nd graders heard a little of the Engineering is Elementary story, Yi Min's Great Wall. In this story they learn about a little girl named Yi Min who lives in China. Her class is growing a vegetable garden at school, but it's being eaten up by a bandit bunny. After brainstorming solutions to this problem, the STEMmers agreed that a wall would be a good solution. The STEMmers went on to hear about the Great Wall of China, through Yi Min's field trip in the story.
To end our time in this session, the STEMmers went on a Wall Walk around the school to observe the different types of materials that are used to build walls.
