Learning Intention: I can explore and test a variety of materials for effective use.
This week we had the opportunity to explore Ms. Soo's S.T.E.A.M. Lab. This approach to learning will engage the students in inquiry through multiple learning styles, developing confidence, creativity, and interest in science, technology, engineering, art, math and learning as' a whole through making. Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies is part of the new BC curriculum and "builds on students’ natural curiosity, inventiveness, and desire to create and work in practical ways. It harnesses the power of learning by doing, and provides the challenging fun that inspires students to dig deeper, work with big ideas, and adapt to a changing world. It provides learning opportunities through which students can discover their interests in practical and purposeful ways." Some activities we partook in included robotics, designing with TinkerCAD for 3D printing, making vertical marble runs, creating with wires and cardboard, and playing with littleBits and MaKey MaKeys.
