To provide holistic STEAM learning experiences for students by integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, using FLUX's CO2 laser cutters as a pivotal tool.
Collaboration
To foster collaboration between students, educators, and professionals by transforming traditional learning environments and emphasizing future-ready education.
Progression
To offer a tiered curriculum that caters to various age groups, emphasizing the development of critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and self-education through creative projects that range from foundational concepts to real-world applications.
Projects for Grade 4 to Grade 7
Project #1
Cardboard Stacking
Students will be inspired by stacked cardboard sculptures and functional objects (vases, bowls, lamp shades) and design/build their own.
Students will start with a pre-designed file of a small stool with six plain, rectangular legs. Students will redesign the legs of the stool in their own creative ways.
Students will work in teams to design a bridge with a limited amount of material. Students are encouraged to iterate on their design in order to design the tallest tower in the class.
Students will work in teams to identify problems with a pre-designed grabber arm file. Students will design and build prototypes in order to make the grabber arm more successful.
Students will learn about Pop Art and its emphasis on repetition. Students will import a photo to Beam Studio and use gradient controls to transform the photo into 4 different designs to be etched into a piece of wood.
Students will select a location that is meaningful to them or someone they care about. Students will use boolean subtraction to edit down their map and turn it into a laser cut coaster design.
Students will research a currency system (current or outdated) that utilizes coins. Students will replicate the coin design, and develop a way to laser etch on both sides of a piece of wood, to create a replica of the coin.
Students will choose a problem from the global goals and prototype a product to fix it using the laser
cutter. The prototype can be any fidelity so long as it communicates effectively.
