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 the M&ms where lighter than the person that we made with the cubes.
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 stress balls, lip scrub and we did a game called ultimate bean bag toss.
Reflection
My highlight from this PBL was seeing all the other stands so I could buy stuff like doughnuts , lollies milkshakes and lots of other things.
Next time I would change what I did because if we did something like popcorn we would of made more money.
What would you like to do at the market?
