Criterion 13:

Students in this artifact are grade 4 students in my S.T.E.A.M class

In S.T.E.A.M students are always up for a challenge; not necessarily a race or a competition. Rather a challenge where they are aspiring to achieve a goal with their group. The challenge they were presented with was the rescuing of two astronauts who landed on the moon but could not return to Earth. They had to design a spacecraft that would rescue these astronauts and bring them back to Earth. They had to research space suit and space craft components. There were multiple phases in this project but one of which was 3DCEDU.

3DCEDU students are able to create a CAD rendering of their spaceship which would then be 3-D printed. 3DCEDU is an app that was new to myself, my students, and our district at the time of this project. I was able to model to the students the basics by mirroring my device.

My students though, as well as myself, were able to truly master 3DCEDU CAD drawings by utilizing the app together. We were able to co-learn the intricacies and special features of the app. Through this co-learning model, students were able to be more successful in bringing their vision to reality.
