Balloons Over Broadway

Tony Sarg was a puppeteer and marionette master who invented the first, larger than life, helium balloons for the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Balloons Over Broadway (link to bookcard) is a short, illustrated book that explores Tony Sarg's innovative story. This book is part of the REMC Promoting STEM Through Literature collection that provides reading questions and a fun hands-on maker challenge. This maker challenge utilizes the Dash, Sphero, or Ozobots (coding tools) to develop a Macy's Day Parade route!

REMC1 has all of these items, including the book, in our loanable items maker kit that can be checked out via our resource request form. Check these items out for a fun, Thanksgiving themed computer science lesson!
