Teaching the Teachers

Recently, some of our STEAM Punks joined us at a Teacher In-Service. Through rotations, they helped teachers explore with a number of areas we had been working on in STEAM Club. Some taught the challenges and movements of Dash and Dot, the extreme awesomeness that can be completed through a Makey Makey, and how to create your own character through Bloxels. What great leaders!

Independent Projects

From now until May, our STEAM Punks will be working on independent projects. These are projects that they are excited, interested, or passionate about. They range anywhere from sewing a quilt from scratch to creating a dust accumulator for a combine to exploring with robotics.

Exploration

The Central STEAM Punks have spent the last 5 weeks exploring in small groups. We were able to have 5-7 makers in a group that rotated around the following stations: Dash and Dot, Sewing, 3-D Printing, and Legos. Week 6 was spent exploring Bloxels. Through Bloxels, makers are able to create their own video game, detailing the background,  functions, and characters. We have some future game creators in our midst!
