Our fourth graders are squashing STEM challenges! The students were tasked with creating a pulley to lift a pumpkin as high as possible. They used basic materials such as cardboard rolls, pencils, and string.

The winning groups were able to lift their pumpkins 80 inches! This project required a lot of perseverance as making a wheel that was able to spin proved to be challenging. The students showed some impressive collaboration!
