5th Grade STEAM Museum

Cardboard creations. Clay sculptures. Lego structures. Posters. 3D models. Clothing redesign. Video creation.

Authentic Audience

Students love the creation part of their time in the STEAM Lab. But what happens to those creations once the class is over? The question I focused on for this STEAM project was "How do we share student's creative work in the real world?" 

I challenged the 5th grade students to create a STEAM Museum to display their creations for families to view before the music concert. This way students could take some time to create something they are proud of and share it with people they care about.

 

 

I wish you could see the thought and planning that went into these projects! 

• How students worked to mix paints to get a desired color for their painting...
• and students brainstormed how to make look like corn stocks in the field of that farm scene...
• and a student figured out a way to use wire inside clay to stabilize their sculpture...
• and how to attach all the pieces of the cat sculpture.

And I was honored to watch students show off their creations to parents - to see their pride!
