Eliza and Petra work with their buddies on the "Success
and Failure" balloon drop activity. All teams  had 15 minutes
to work together to create a device to project their balloon.
Then, we went outside to test their devices from the kindergarten
playground.  This was a great activity for success and failure.
Thank you to all the crew members that brought in materials. We will share our experience at Community Crew.

about a certain topic with saying only one word at a time.
