Capsela: By Cole
When you were a kid, did you ever build a working motorized vehicle in class? Chances are, you haven’t. But if you were a student at our classroom, then you would be able to use Capsela to build anything from a crane to a tank! What is Capsela, you ask? Capsela consists of a wide array of parts such as tubes, wiring, a motor, chains, and wheels. Currently Cole (me), Andrew, and Sophie are working on a motorized boat with a large propeller in the back and two floatation devices on either side.
You may be thinking, “You know, this sounds fun and all, but where is the real educational value in this?” Well, Capsela helps improve vital skills such as creative thinking, engineering, and technology skills. Capsela is currently what is at the ‘Tinker Table’ which consists of creative sets that can be used to build robotic devices. Thank you for reading this blog post by yours truly, Cole!
Cole, I enjoyed reading about Capsela and the Tinker Table. Your floatation device looks creative. I wonder how it will perform on water? Do you get to test it out? If so, I hope you share the results. :) ~Mrs. Schmidt
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in your class... building robotic devices looks very cool!

That looks like so much fun! I wish we had things like that when I was your age!
