This week the girls had fun on field trips and enjoyed other fun activities! We started off the week with our field trip to the Tech Museum. This was a special field trip because it was a joint trip between the Castilleja and Saint Joseph's Bridge sites. It was an absolute blast! At the tech the girls participated in fun engineering activities, explored the museum, and watched Born to be Wild in the IMAX. It was an amazing day and by the time we got home the girls were tired and ready to go home.
The week got more exciting with the DPR engineering bridge building activities. For two days the girls were challenged to construct bridges out of popsicle sticks and glue. After the bridges were built we tested them with water weights to see which bridges were successful and which needed more help. Amazingly the majority of the girls' bridges survived!
The girls loved having DPR volunteer at our site and they can't wait for more fun volunteer activities! This week we also had the privilege of hosting our first tour. This served as an amazing opportunity for the girls to show off their skills to parents and other volunteers. Everyone was amazed at their courage to greet guests and show them what we have been learning.
That same day we were fortunate enough to take a visit to the Cantor Art Museum at Stanford. It seemed like a long day but once we arrived at the museum the girls were all amazed by the cool, jaw dropping exhibits, sculptures, and paintings. Of course, their favorite was the snake sculpture.
All of the girls loved the fun filled field trips and bridge building activities, and just as they did last week, they are looking forward to more fun and more exciting trips happening next week!
