This Week in STEM
With lots of different materials available to them, the students set off to construct their unique creations. The results were amazing, the hats and masks featured feathers, long spikes, cardboard and googly eyes to make them look big and scary to birds.
As well as having fun, the activity helped students develop skills in design thinking, teamwork and resiliance! We are confident the hats and masks will help keep everyone a little safer during the swooping season!
