DCSD STEAM Letters
We have been asked to design, create a budget, and build free standing STEAM letters and include DCSD, our school district. We have added a storage box, and will attempt to make the letters, stands, and add-ons as flat-pack as possible. The idea is that these letters will be used at various conferences.
We have worked through several ideas and are currently working under the title, "Rolling through STEAM in DCSD" and will have various marble run elevators, drops, and lifts connecting the STEAM letters rolling through a variety of other letter add-ons standing for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths and Medicine. We want the entire design to fit in a 6-foot conference table. If the design is interesting but also interactive.

Each Student is to Complete this Assignment.

Add On Idea Generators & Budget -- As you research your ideas, note the costs and what your idea might do to the budget. Can anything pull double duty?

This column is for students to begin their research of ideas for Add-Ons. We are high school students in a level 3 CTAE Engineering course. We are not going to limit ourselves to sticking on flat objects that are real of models of real objects. That would be too simplistic for high school students.
Start with cardboard ideas such as this marble run -- LINK Then get fancy and watch a tutorial with groovy music on bending metal tracks and using a soldering iron...LINK Still not inspired? Peek at the Things to FInish on the Budget, then the Ideas for Addons...there's definitely something for a level 3 Engineering student. |
