S.T.E.A.M Teams

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; we make a table that was able to balance M&Ms for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because 
We were much better at the second challenge because We made a stable table  that can stand Light M&Ms


In Literacy we write up science experiments. I also had to write a Technology report using a design 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 Origami frogs because I decided to make origami frogs

Next time I would Make something easier because the frogs were hard to make.
