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.
