Week 1: Sorting Hat & Wand-Making
In our first week, Hogwarts scholars were sorted into houses using a Sorting Hat app, created caramel sorting hats for snack (exploring changes in states of matter from heat & friction), and created our very own magic wands!
Week 2: Wand Lore Greenscreen Reports
& Quidditch Field Construction
Hogwarts witches & wizards used green screen technology to give reports on the rationale behind their wand creations and materials, making it look like they were LIVE at Hogwarts giving the reports. Watch for the videos to be uploaded SOON! Additionally, Hogwarts students created magic wand snacks and constructed Quidditch field models using some of the SUPER COOL new engineering manipulatives we purchased using our Foundation 112 grant!
Weeks 3-4: Hogwarts Grounds Exploration
Creative Engineering & Innovation
This week was all about grounds exploration at Hogwarts. The mysterious properties of Hogwarts castle and its surrounding grounds are a huge part of Potter lore. Students selected STRUCTURES within Hogwarts grounds to replicate using our Foundation 112 grant manipulatives.
Popular structures chosen were the Hogwarts changing staircases, Gringotts vaults & mine tracks, and the Chamber of secrets. Some designs failed at first. After modifications, teamwork, and persistence, each house created AMAZING, unique replicas of Hogwarts grounds structures using a variety of our grant materials!!!
For snacks, students used wafers, icing, and graham crackers to construct a Hogwarts "changing staircase" at least 5 steps tall. Designs were all different, but all were creative and functional!

Week 5: Marauder's Map & TECH
One of our favorite features of Harry Potter & Hogwarts is the Marauder's Map! Students "solemnly swore to be up to no good" as they hid a "magical" object somewhere in the school, then worked as a team using the iPad app, Educreations, to virtually draw, narrate, and add clues for other Hogwarts houses to use to try and find their hidden object.
