K.I.S.S.

Do you know what KISS means?  It means keep it simple (stupid).  You have been thinking of things that can be propelled along the ground.  Is that the only direction things can be propelled?  Do things need to stay on the ground?  There are very easy, creative solutions for you to solve this part of the challenge with all the materials we already have, with a device that could be built in 5 minutes, by anyone who gives it a minute or two of thought.  

See you Monday.  6:30.

No one person can carry the team!

No matter how strong one person is, the whole team must be fully prepared to compete against, well, you know who.  The team who shall not be named.  This means practicing the improv tips I have been passing out, know the different genres and sleuths and pretending every practice is our last.  Right now, the most urgent need is to be able to make a self-propelled device to begin using in the skit.  Tyler has done a lot of work on this, but it would be helpful if everyone spent some time looking up simple self propelled devices to make.  Come prepared with an idea to build next Monday or the meeting itself will have to be spent on finding one.  

Friday Meeting 6:30-8:30 and Monday 3-6

We have a meeting Friday night, 6:30-8:30 and another Monday from 3-6.  Let's make a lot of progress so when Mrs. Haver comes back you can blow her away!

What's a little pizza between friends?

Good job Friday!  For Monday please be ready with what your sleuth looks like.  We will also begin to put the whole skit together minus the machine and props.  

See you tomorrow!

Friday is Instant Challenge night!

See you Friday, 5:45 at MI 5/6.  After Instant Challenge night I will drive all to my house where there will be some light snacks and drinks.  Then I would really like you to see what your sleuth will look like-maybe youtube or a picture- and have you make a  costume like you would do for the skit.  Lots to do team!  Let's make our meetings count!  Pick-up is 8:30.
