This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?
First we learned what STEAM stood for.
S for Science
T for Technology
E for Engineering
A for the Arts
and M for Maths
Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.
Then, make a table that was able to balance MnMs for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because it was so fun making the table, we had to make it using newspaper straw’s and a meter of tape.
In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.
Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.
How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.
Reflection it was super fun and I hope we can to do something like this again!
My highlight from this PBL was it was really fun and we took lot’s of pictures , I liked how we worked together .
Next time I would do something easier because it cost's lots of money and we were down to the last day when we finished
making our candle's .
