STEAM Design Challenge: Let's Make Some Noise!
You are making a prototype for a new instrument/noise maker. This week you will begin to design your creation, and next week you will continue to work on building and polishing it.
- Start collecting recycled materials around the house: egg cartons, empty boxes, elastic bands, cans, etc.
- Design and create a unique musical instrument/noise maker that can be used to honour essential workers at 7:00pm each night. It has to be an instrument/noise maker that can be kept and used for the duration of our isolation, and be used as an artifact afterwards to be put on display in a 'museum' exhibit depicting the pandemic of 2020! (Not just pots and pans that need to be returned to a kitchen drawer!)
Answer: A candle!
