Market day!

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 M&M's for the team.
We were much better at the second challenge because …
We worked as a team and communicated with each other better than the last challenges.

                                 Here is my Science Template

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.

My team made this…

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was…
Finishing the Challenge well with my group and having fun while doing it.

Next time I would…
Want to be more organised and get more things ready quicker and it would be much
better if we had more prizes so we could have more people to come and to get more money
for the market, the thing that I wouldn't change is helping out my stem team group if they
needed help.
