Build Shelter
Problem synopsis
Touchdown! Your arrival on the new planet was a spectacular success (irrespective of how the previous hour went.)
Now, it's a bit like Minecraft, you have to build your shelter, (but you don't have to punch trees!)
In your journals follow and record your progress through the problem-solving process.
STEAM process
Analysis - What do you understand the problem to be? What are your success criteria? What are you working towards?
Design - Sketch out some ideas how you could build your shelter. Take stock of the materials you have available to you. Use the pipe cleaners to build a model before you cut any pipes. There are no spares!
Build - Make it! Test it! Record the outcomes, what happened? Did your building stay upright? Did your equipment get damaged? Do you think it would be waterproof? Record the tests so that they can be reviewed.
Evaluation - Link back to your success criteria - did you succeed? If so, yea! If not, what else could you have done?
What do you hand in to get your equipment?
The laser cut model of your shelter kit.
