My Project

For this STEAM PBL project we will be exploring the cultural influence chopsticks have had around the world. We will discuss chopsticks and the shared tradition of these utensils throughout Asia. Students will research the history and the environmental impact chopsticks have made. Students will be taught to use chopsticks, will be shown the differences in chopsticks style throughout Asia, and they will earn their very own pair by playing games and exercising fine motor skills.

We aim to expose our students to diverse dining cultures while celebrating tradition, emphasizing form and function, and offering hands-on fun activities.
