What is the Strongest Shape?
Discover the strongest shape through a STEM challenge!
By connecting knowledge about basic geometric shapes with real world buildings, kids will identify what is the strongest shape. Kids will explore Doodle 3D Transform, a web-app that makes designing in 3D easy and fun. Then, they’ll use a design-thinking process to complete a STEM challenge - brainstorming, designing, testing and finally, analyzing findings to determine the strongest shape.
1 Your Guide
If I had to pick a quote to live by, it would be, “To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the ideal mental condition” by John Dewey, a renowned psychologist and philosopher. These words inspire me everyday to make learning fun, engaging and meaningful. With my communications degree, BC teaching certification and an advanced certificate in inclusive education, I’ve had the privilege of teaching learners of all ages—from kindergartners to adults—in diverse subjects such as mindfulness, STEAM, entrepreneurship, and marketing. In any topic and all ages, my goal is to support each learner in becoming the best version of themselves. When I’m not guiding activities on HomeLearners Network, you’ll often find me outdoors, tossing a frisbee, stick, or ball for my energetic dog, Frieda.
