Landing the equipment for exploring
Problem synopsis
The ground is too rugged to land safely on and you need to get your kit delivered to you. You have a model of the kit that needs to be dropped from a height. You have a collection of materials that you can build a delivery mechanism from. These are listed on the side
In your journals follow and record your progress through the problem-solving process.
Done this before? Great. Bring your skills. I look forward to seeing them in action.
STEAM process
Analysis - What do you understand the problem to be? What are your success criteria? What are you working towards? I would assume it's getting the equipment down safely without it breaking/scattering across miles of distance.
Design - Sketch out some ideas. Agree on a team what you are going to build.
Build - Make it! Test it! Record the outcomes, what happened? Did your equipment scatter? Did your equipment break? Or did it drift to the surface, cool as a cucumber? Record the tests so that they can be reviewed.
Evaluation - Link back to your success criteria - did you succeed? If so, yeah! If not, what else could you have done?
