Naked Deuce's Wild! kits as far as the eye can see!

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua offered another wonderful session in Merrimack with a focus on many of the kids that have attended several classes with me in the past.  The problem was that we had one new-comer (e.g.: beginner), about 4 kids that had only done the beginner class and 5 kids that have done at least 1 beginner and also 1 or two intermediate classes.  So I needed to challenge them all while not going over their heads.

We also had a timing problem.  These courses are normally 7 weeks in length.  This time, due to the calendar and holidays, we were reduced to just 5 weeks (sessions) in all.  So here is how I structured this class.   We built for 4 weeks straight and then had one launch instead of two.  The sole beginner in the class built two rockets, the Thing-a-ma-Jig and the Rhino, spending two weeks on each.  The other kids built the Deuce's Wild! kit, spending all 4 weeks on the one, more complex model.  Those with lots of previous building experience could finish up early and then help out the other kids in the class.  It was a great arrangement and worked out just fine.

Here then is the photo album from this session.  NOTE: The launch photo's are very poor as it was dusk when we launched at 3:45 p.m.

Parents, the school and the Boys & Girls Clubs organization can get high resolution versions of any of these images by sending me an email request.
