My Project

Please help our students have an engaging project making Viking Helmets with plaster gauze, silver and gold paint , with some sparkle embellishments to finish it off.

Everyone is engaged!

These helmets are way stronger than trying to mess with paper mache. They are able to make arches for support and create horns or wings for their helmets. They have to think about support and use some of the principles of architecture to build the helmet.

This project is very tactile. They put down their phones and work with these materials in a hands-on project based learning environment. Thank you so much for your consideration!
