Our school is on track to become a STEAM school. By designing and producing their own quilts students will be using and improving their skills in Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. These materials (sewing machines, rotary cutters, rulers, and healing mats) will allow my students to create a unique, one of a kind quilt while incorporating real life Technological, Engineering, Artistic and Mathematical skills. While creating their quilts, students will use the same design process that engineers use. The rotary cutters, and mats will allow students to put their math skills to use as they measure and cut fabric to exact lengths to create a visually appealing masterpiece. Learning to use the sewing machine will enhance my students’ technological talents as well as expand their real life skills. Students will improve their artistic skills by using a variety of contrasting and complementing colors of fabric to create their one of a kind masterpiece. Students will be required to incorporate real life math skills to calculate needed yardage, and to measure and cut fabric. Students will make a difference by presenting their beautiful creations to the local homeless shelter. Help my students become the TEAM in STEAM and make a difference in our community!
