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 MnM's for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because we worked better as a team and we listened to everyone’s ideas
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 some lip scrubs and stress balls and we also did a bean bag toss and had lollies as prisesReflection
My highlight from this PBL was making the lip scrubs and flavouring them because it was fun and we worked together well
Next time I would organise everything a bit more so we don’t run out of time to make more things
See Ya late
