This was a really fun STEM engineering project. It was perfect for our discussion on the Maker Movement and low tech Makes. My students (who are preservice teachers) were given a variety of materials: duct tape, toilet paper rolls, straws, balloons, rubber bands and craft sticks. They were asked to come up with a machine to launch a marshmallow. They were asked to think of original ideas and use the Design Process of Designing, Testing and Redesigning.
Hii ilikuwa ni mradi wa uhandisi wa STEM wenye kufurahisha sana. "Hii ni moja ya sababu za kuvutia zaidi za ""Makers Movement"" na ""Low Tech Makers.""" Wanafunzi wangu (wenyewe ni walimu wa kuhifadhi) walipewa vifaa mbalimbali: mkanda wa kuunganisha, rolls za karatasi ya choo, matete, baluni, bendi za mpira na vijiti vya ufundi. Waliombwa wabunike mashine ya kutengeneza marshmallow. Waliulizwa kufikiria mawazo ya awali na kutumia Mchakato wa Ubunifu wa Kubuni, Majaribio na Kubuni upya.
