The Great Wonders of Innovation

This term in PBL we have been learning about Innovation, Innovation is when we invent something by using imagination and creativity.
Our first challenge was to build a boat made out of either straws, paper, tape, plastic cups and aluminium foil. We all got into groups of three or four and went straight to creating our boat. The boats were supposed to hold as much marbles as it could and be able to float on water, we created our boat in a regular boat shape and also layered the outside with aluminium foil to support the floating and we last minute added straws on the bottom to help balance it out. When all the groups got together we all saw how everyone else's was flat and how it has better support, we thought we were going to sink our boat once we placed it into the water but actually we got lots marbles in our boat before it sank. 

Through this experience I have learnt:
How Innovation works.
Innovation comes in different shapes and sizes. 
Innovation can be anything such as a boat.


What is Innovation in your own words?

    Hi Sam
    Innovation to me is changing something to be something new or making something new.
    I love the way you explained what you learned from this experience.
    Next time you could put up some pictures if you have some. :)
