Second-grade students at Clairbourn School put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work designing bird feeder prototypes. Students considered the feeding habits of different birds and explored ways to keep them safe from predators before building their designs using simple materials. Each prototype reflected a different approach to solving the challenge, giving students an opportunity to apply their ideas through hands-on learning. The activity also encouraged critical thinking, creativity, and an appreciation for the engineering process. Well done, second graders!
