Preschool students at the Goddard School in Issaquah turned to Tinkertoy parts this month to come up with inventions involving science, technology, engineering and math.

During the two-week long TEACH.PLAY.LEARN. program, students identified the need for more frequent space travel, and they imagined and constructed various shuttles and rockets to get them to the moon and beyond.

The inventions will be posted on The Goddard School National Facebook Page through March 3 collecting ‘likes’ for the 21st Century Skills Build Challenge Contest. Winners will be announced on March 4.
