Wooden Torch in Isai STEM land

In Isai Ambalam school children waned to make different types of lights to use it during sleep over. It took 2 to 3 weeks  to build a nice wooden torch. So they started cutting the bamboo during STEM land period. Once they cut the bamboo they  started to build the circuit on a bread board and then started soldering  with wires. Then they made hole in the bamboo with a drill to fix a switch. Then for the front part they really wanted to use some cone shape and to fix the LED. At first they use a waste water bottle. They cut the bottle and took the cone shape but it didn’t last for long time. It also didn’t look good. Then they were struggling with chart paper to make a head for the torch. Then students got some ideas like that what all can be made with bamboo. Some wanted to build a study lamp. These things were made  4th and 5th grades. Three girls thought it is very difficult to build a torch. When some students started to build a study lamp these girls got inspired and they also started to build a torch. When they finish making the torch Monica came to visit STEM land they presented this torch to her. Monica gave a beautiful words for those kids. I also added a image with the words from Monica.
