Building the modules with LEGOs

Students had to use their digital 3-D LEGO model to build their actual module.  Students had to use their charisma to bargain, borrow, and trade for LEGO pieces they needed.  This is the entertainment module - can you find the dance floor?

Fantasy architecture sketches finished!

Students recently finished their fantasy architecture sketches.  As a math teacher, this one is my favorite :-)

Crayon etchings finished!

Students finished their crayon etchings along with an original moon flower haiku.

Etching...

Students used their original flower sketch to etch over the paint, revealing the vibrant colors from their first layer.

 

Crayon etchings first layer completed

Students created a fantasy moon flower after their unit on plant biology.  Here are some pictures of the bottom layer before the black paint, etching, and haiku.

About halfway done

Finished with the first layer

Using LEGO 3-D software

Designers had to create a 3-D LEGO model of their module.  This one was designed by me as a possible example for the bedroom and laundry module.

Getting ready for STEAM Night

For the 1st semester STEAM Night students created a portfolio including their storyboards, STEAM letters, and other projects they chose to include.
