The Robot Parade

Characters: Amara, Diego, and Mr. Okafor, their teacher

Scene 1: The Classroom
(Amara and Diego stand beside a stack of big boxes. Mr. Okafor holds a poster about the town parade.)
MR. OKAFOR: Our class will march in the parade on Saturday. We need a float!
AMARA: Let's build a giant robot out of boxes.
DIEGO: Yes! And its eyes can light up!
MR. OKAFOR: Great plan. You two can start the head today.

Scene 2: The Art Room
(Friday afternoon. The robot's head sits on a table. Diego holds two small flashlights.)
DIEGO: The flashlights keep falling out of the head! The tape will not hold them.
AMARA: What if we glue them inside?
DIEGO: Glue takes too long to dry, and the parade is tomorrow!
(Mr. Okafor walks in and lifts a roll of silver foil.)
MR. OKAFOR: Try wrapping each flashlight in foil. It will fit snugly in the hole, and it will make the light brighter.

Scene 3: The Town Street
(Saturday. Crowds line the street. The robot rolls forward on a wagon.)
AMARA: Here we go! Switch on the eyes!
(Diego clicks the flashlights. Two bright circles glow in the robot's face.)
DIEGO: It works! The foil made the lights shine so much brighter.
(The crowd claps and cheers.)
MR. OKAFOR: You solved a tough problem together. Well done!
