Teens Have a Blast with Summer Activities at Ske:g Himdag Ki:

By Andreea Miguel

On June 4, the Community Recreational Services Tribal Library hosted a teen activity for kids ages 12-17 at the Ske:g Himdag Ki: (formerly Way of Life Facil­ity or WOLF). The activity was led by Library Assistant Josefina Vasquez, who helped participants and provided supplies. 

Participants had the opportunity to build rocket bottles that were tested on the WOLF Soccer Field. Each participant was able to design and assemble two differ­ent rocket models to compare when tested. 

“This is a trial-and-error guys remember, it might fly, it might not,” said Vasquez as she walked around the room observing each individuals’ models. 

In addition to the two-liter soda bottles provided, participants were able to use a number of supplies which included duct tape, graphing paper, card stock, card­board and markers to decorate their rockets. 

“[Once we test them] we can see what was wrong, and what changes we could make to help it fly better the next time.” Vasquez added. 

The class was available for those who are registered Ske:g Himdag Ki:/WOLF members and Community members who are enrolled in the Summer Reading Program at the Salt River Tribal Library.
