DYE Christmas Cards

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 MnMs for the team. We were much better at the
second challenge because … we worked as a team and we each got to listen to each others
peoples 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 team made this…
My team made Christmas cards.

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was… working together as a team and selling a lot of cards to
people, but working together was the best though.

Next time I would… Maybe selling more Christmas cards to people.

I would keep the same group because we work well together.
