🚤 Ships Race A STEAM Project-Based Assessment 🔧🌊
At Summit International Schools, we wrapped up Term 3 with an exciting and hands-on STEAM project-based assessment that had our students fully engaged — designing, building, and racing their very own motor-powered boats! ⚙️💡
Students went through three key phases in this journey:
1️⃣ 3D Design Phase – Where creativity met digital skills as students designed their boats using 3D modeling tools.
2️⃣ Research & Construction Phase – Turning ideas into reality by researching propulsion systems and building functional boats with motors and water pumps.
3️⃣ Race Phase – The final test! Our school swimming pool became the race arena where students tested their creations in real conditions. 🏁
Throughout the project, students developed and applied key STEAM skills:
🔹 Science – Understanding buoyancy, force, and water dynamics
🔹 Technology – Using 3D design software and electric components
🔹 Engineering – Building and troubleshooting real prototypes
🔹 Art – Incorporating creativity in design
🔹 Math – Measuring, calculating dimensions, and optimizing balance
The highlight wasn’t just the final race — it was the learning journey itself. Students collaborated, innovated, problem-solved, and learned by doing, which is truly at the heart of effective 21st-century education.
Proud of their enthusiasm, persistence, and the meaningful learning that came from this experience! 🙌
