STEAM CHALLENGE
In Te Ngahere for the first day back at school we did a STEAM challenge and we made a tower only made out of two sheets of newspaper and a 30 cm piece of tape. We were learning to make a free standing tower with limited materials. When we got into our groups we were thinking of a way how to make our tower with only two things in 20 minutes. Five minutes later we finally thought of a way how to make our tower. The base of our tower was big so that it had more balance, and then we made the top of our tower long and pointy. Finally time was up, so we went down to the mat to measure our tower. When the teacher measured our tower it was up to 95 cm tall. What my group and I did well was collaborating with each other about how to make a wide and stable base for it.
Kia ora, Vanya it’s me Isabella-paige. I like how you said what was hard for you doing a free standing tower with limited materials. The hardest part for my group was trying to make it stand up. Your blog post is amazing. What is your goal for next time if you try the challenge again?
