my magnificent 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 cubes and my group did pretty well it was really challenging but I like a bit of a challenge
Then; make a table that was able to balance M and Ms for the team. I don’t know how it went because I wasn't there but my team said that it went great
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 glow in the dark slime with different cent’s and glitter’s
Reflection
My highlight from this PBL was selling out in the first minute or so but having such a popular product that everyone loved and it was so much fun working with my group
here is a sneak peek of our product we sold
Next time I would change the number of how much we had of our product because if I knew how many people wanted slime then we wouldn't have sold out so fast and next time maybe we could have a bit more of a challenge
even tho I liked being a smurf for a few days maybe next time I could be hulk
