Our kindergartners had a hands-on STEAM lesson today where they designed and built their own paintbrushes. Students experimented with creating dots, skinny lines, and fat lines using different materials. It was a good mix of creativity and problem-solving, and they enjoyed seeing how their designs worked in action.
