STEM

Last week we started a 5 week STEM challenge that requires the students to complete 5 different challenges. The challenges are all based around a man who has been shipwrecked on a deserted island. In the first challenge teams had to plan and construct a shelter that would withstand a wind storm. The were requirements such as making it 15cm high and making sure it had an opening door. A marking guide was completed at the end of the task and points will accumulate over the 5 weeks. Teamwork, design, incuding elements and planning were all included in the marking criteria. Here are some photos of us working in groups and our finished shelters.
