August has flown by in the blink of an eye, and what a fantastic month it has been! As we wrap up the summer, we at Mujeres Omega Foundation are excited to reflect on the incredible moments we’ve shared in our Kids and Moms program. This month, we have celebrated the power of play and learning with a series of engaging and memorable activities.

What We’ve Done:What We’ve Done:

• Building Bridges with Ice Cream Pallets: We kicked off the month by using ice cream pallets to create imaginative bridges. This fun and interactive activity not only sparked creativity but also introduced the kids to basic engineering concepts.
• Solve This! Based on Books by Joan Marie Galat: From bubble wrap to bridges, the miracles of engineering are all around us. We explored how engineers dream up new ideas and bring them to life, discovering what happens when things go wrong. Our activities were inspired by “Solve This! Wild and Wacky Challenges for the Genius Engineer in You,” which helped tackle unusual problems and included some writing tips for our young engineers.
• Creating Electric Circuits: We embarked on an electrifying adventure by making simple electric circuits. The children were thrilled to see their circuits come to life, gaining a deeper understanding of electrical principles in a fun and engaging way.
