First we learned what STEAM stood for.
S for Science
T for Technology
E for Engineering
A for the Arts
and M for Maths
Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.
Then; make a table that was able to balance MnMs for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because is what someone in my group told me because I was doing the bike track that we are making but it was much easier because the MnMs stayed on the table
In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.
Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.
How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.
My team made all sort of different bath bombs and the red ones were strawberry sent and we had jumbo bath bombs,two pack bath bombs,three pack bath bombs and we had failed bath bombs that were crumbled but then we could the crumbled bath bombs and we sold all of the bath bombs.

Reflection
My highlight from this PBL was selling the bath bombs which was a huge success and we made up two $28 dollars and we sold out and then my second highlight was definitely buying other stuff.
Next time I would change the crumbled bath bombs because they took ages to sell but at least we got to sell them.Well that's all with a question what do you think I should change next time I do a market day write in the comments.
