Characters like Ada Twist and Rosie Revere have shown us the power of perseverance, creativity, and asking questions. We've learned how important it is to approach problems with an open mind, and that even failures can lead to great discoveries. These books have encouraged critical thinking and have made STEM concepts accessible and exciting for readers of all ages.\r\n\r\nThe addition of the Makerspace materials and the Cat deductive reasoning game has been invaluable in reinforcing what we've read. We've been able to put ideas into practice, experimenting with different tools and techniques, and collaborating on hands-on learning and exploration.
