STEAM

During the second half of the term, students at Mooroolbark College continued to be immersed in various STEAM experiences. 

Students in our Innovate Science class students designed a human body that would be able to sustain the Everest Hike. While students designed modifications to the body, they also explored conditions that occur during the hike and explored the effect on the normal functioning of the body. Below are excerpts from some of the students work.  

Students are then moving on to designing a Drone Rescue Mission which will see them designing a Mission to deliver medical supplies in areas where access is otherwise difficult like the village of Majhkot in Nepal. Leading into the mission students will be exploring concepts like Elevation gain to understand what path would need to be covered for the mission. Students will also be comparing the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), HDI (Human Development Index), and PQLI (Physical Quality of Life Index) in Nepal and Australia. Students will be explored the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and will identify the ones most relevant to their designed mission.
