Storybook Engineering at BASE Camp

Storybook Engineering Camp at BASE Camp is a wonderful way to bring classic stories to life. Here’s a sample of what they worked on last summer: The Three Little Pigs – built the sturdiest house so the Big Bad Wolf (hairdryer) couldn’t knock it down; Jack and The Beanstalk – created a parachute to safely land to the ground and plant bean seeds to bring home; Goldilocks and The Three Bears – created the “just right” bed or any furniture idea for Goldilocks; The Billy Goats Gruff – built a raft for the goats to cross the river and escape the troll; Rapunzel and Humpty Dumpty – created an escape for Rapunzel from the tower and have an egg drop! Can you believe the creativity?!
