The Building Museum

 Back in February I took Diego and Christian to the Building Museum in D.C. to help pass some things off for scouts.  It was an interesting afternoon filled with engineering, making your own silly putty, catapult and many other activities.  The boys (and me) learned new things and how things work. 

Diego trying to blow a balloon up into a cup.

Christian's balloon stuck in the cup.

This was the best one.  

At this station the boys had to change a tire blindfolded.

 The people helping them were actually blind as well. 

 Diego did great!

Christian wasn't brave enough to do it blindfolded.  

 

This was the most popular. 

 The Rocket Launcher. 

 You made a paper rocket and then with just a bike tube and 

an empty water bottle you could launch your rocket.
