While learning about Colonial times, students were tasked with researching Colonial American Trades such as a Wigmaker, Blacksmith, Cobbler and Wheelwright. After researching, students drew personalized drawings of what their shops might look like at that time. Utilizing VexGo kits, students were able to create a product that would be sold in their shops! @Tina_Dietrich @Desiree_White-Price ---

@Danielle_McCoy That is a great idea. I will pass that along to my team members. We have been incorporating winter stories into our 123 curriculum. I am going to challenge my team to come up with a social studies lesson to share with you. ---

That is a fantastic way to integrate some engineering into your social studies class with VEX GO. Thank you for sharing!
