Challenge:
Educators sought a collaborative project where students could undertake modular exercises and activities within their respective subject lessons, culminating in the production of projects that demonstrate their learning. However, the availability of cross-curricular projects that integrate knowledge from physics, mathematics, and art lessons was notably scarce.
Solution:
To address this challenge, a cross-curricular project emphasizing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Aerospace & Mathematics) skills was conceived. The project's focus on model rocketry provided a comprehensive platform for students to apply and integrate their understanding across multiple subjects, fostering a meaningful and collaborative learning experience.
Product Features:
▪ Two-part project: scratch-built flying model rocket and parachute recovery system
▪ Project is scratch-built using household tools and materials
▪ Step-by-step, detailed instructions and full-color illustrations and schematics
Software & Technology used:
▪ Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign
▪ Google Sketchup and V-Ray for 3D images
▪ Filmora for editing user-shared video review
