On Saturday, April 8, 2000, several eager
youngsters traveled to Cabell Hall to participate in DUPLO
Camp. The children engaged in several activities. They matched
patterns, made simple machines, built a strong bridge that everyone could
crawl through, and planned, designed and constructed a community.
This community was complete with residential homes, an animal park, dubbed
"The Jungle", a tram system, a store, and a railroad. The morning
group built a device to rescue a kitty that had run up to the top of the
bridge. The afternoon group designed a vehicle to pass an egg, representing
sharing food, from house to house. This activity is sponsored by
the Marshall University Continuing Education Department. Mrs. Linda
Hamilton, MU Mathematics Instructor, teaches the DUPLO Classes.
