🌈🍀 Leprechaun Traps in Action! 🍀🌈 Today, the Cumberland High School Basic Physical Science class had a blast presenting their leprechaun traps to the second graders! Using simple machines and a lot of creativity, they designed clever contraptions in hopes of catching a sneaky leprechaun. Will their traps work? Only time will tell! 🤞✨ Great job to our young engineers for sharing their knowledge and making learning so much fun! 💡🔧 #STEM #LeprechaunTraps #SimpleMachines #FutureEngineers
