STEMsters

EA, Walnut, D35E

On Friday, October 4th, Walnut Key Clubbers volunteered for an event for Stemsters. Key Clubbers volunteered at a church, where they taught kids about the properties of hydraulics, assisting them in building a hydraulic bridge made of popsicle sticks and cardboard. The volunteers were able to present a set of slides, teaching the lesson to the children, and giving instructions for building the hydraulic bridge. The Key Clubbers were then able to work one-on-one with any of the children who needed help with their model. While teaching the children at the church, Key Clubbers were also able to learn about the basic properties of hydraulics, all the while gaining social skills by talking and teaching the children. Walnut Key Club officer, Esmond Au stated, “I had a fun time talking with and helping the kids make their own hydraulic bridges.” After making their models, the children were able to take home their hydraulic bridges as a reminder of their lesson on hydraulics.
