@PopularMechanics editor in chief Ryan D'Agostino and his kids built this project using May's Groovy Lab in a Box that you can buy too. Here's an excerpt of what he had to say: "This month Groovy Lab in a Box - a fantastic educational company that mails shoe-box-size educational kits to kids, teaching them about science, technology, mathematics, and engineering—is releasing a special Popular Mechanics box featuring this project. Get yours at groovylabinabox.com. Sign up, and they'll send out a new box every month with a different theme. This month, they're releasing a special Popular Mechanics box, featuring the project on this page. Kids learn the properties of ice through hands-on experiments, and at the end they're challenged to create a lantern out of ice for an imaginary ice hotel! You could make this project without the box - but then you wouldn't get Groovy's excellent workbook, instructions, and supplies. An annual subscription costs just $24.95 per month and is much better than watching TV. Start one today—and get your Popular Mechanics box—at groovylabinabox.com".

Sign up for May's monthly subscription to ensure you get this groovy box for the #STEMist in your life. Pull a wire through a block of ice? This trick works thanks to a groovy phenomenon called 'regelation', in which ice melts from the pressure applied by a wire and freezes again when the pressure is reduced. #regelation What's Happening? The balloon ice weights pull the copper wire through the block of ice. The pressure applied by the weights forms a liquid directly under the copper wire. As the wire travels downward the liquid refreezes above the wire and forms back into a solid. This is similar to ice skating where the blades of a skater melt the ice directly underneath, allowing the skater to move smoothly on a thin layer of water. #STEMists do the "E" in STEM!

Female Aerospace Pioneers - Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman In 1921 Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman, a Texan, became the first civilian (non-military) licensed African-American pilot in the world. She went to France to learn to fly after her brothers, who served in World War II, told her French women were allowed to fly. When she returned to the United States she did air shows: barnstorming, parachute jumping, and giving demonstrations. Coleman would only perform if the audience was not segregated and all people got to enter the show through the same gate. This courageous and adventurous woman fell from the open cockpit of a plane during a test flight which ended her life on April 30, 1926. She was enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2006.
