About the program
For year 6-8 students
A special Science Week program of fun, engaging STEM activities for middle school students, STEM Day Out is a series of three STEM workshops focussing on the science of flight, puzzling mathematics, and the engineering design process.
What will students do?
Students participate in three different activities, each of which is linked to a degree at UniSA and one of the STEM learning areas:
Science
(UniSA degree – Aviation)
Students explore the science of air – how it moves, how strong it is, and some of the amazing ways it behaves. They discover the science behind planes and how planes fly, and construct their own simple model plane wing.
Mathematics
(UniSA degree – Mathematical Sciences)
Through a series of fun, captivating brain-benders, students discover why puzzles are fundamental to mathematical thinking and explore how mathematical thinking links to problem solving.
Engineering
(UniSA degree – Engineering)
In small groups, students design and construct the tallest tower possible using the engineering design process and limited materials, while developing their collaborative working, communication and time management skills.
Conditions
- Classes will rotate through the three workshops.
- As the program is a practical activity, students will be required to wear closed in footwear.
- Duty of care for students will be retained by the classroom teacher.
