My magic 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&Ms for the
team. We were much better at the second challenge
because it was a lot easy and not hard for my team.

Technology Exemplar

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 what in the box challenge, and now
prize were lip scrub and balm.

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was that we made the what in
the box challenge and the lip scrub.

Next time I would change the color and the size of the
boxes, and get more prize and get ready on the day .
