====== S.T.E.A.M. BRAINBOX: ======
**BRAINBOX:** A box full of things to do and to learn using STE(A)M.

{{ :brainbox:boy-brainbox-640x360.jpg |STEAMpunks BRAINBOX}}

This WIKI DOES attempt to include resources that provide cheap, practical and challenging project ideas that can be used as inspiration or a foundation for understanding of core principles that directly link to the NSW syllabus:[[http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/learning-areas/technologies|NEW Science & Technology K-6 Syllabus]], [[http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/learning-areas/technologies/technology-mandatory-7-8-new-syllabus|Mandatory 7-8 Syllabus]], [[http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/learning-areas/technologies/teaching-agriculture|Agriculture]], [[http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/learning-areas/technologies/coding-across-the-curriculum|Digital Technologies]] and [[http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/understanding-the-curriculum/programming/stem-support|STEM]]

Some of these activities include explicit teaching instructions and/or black-line masters. Where explicit plans may be missing, there are plenty of sites/resources that already supply these.

**Each task can be used to reinforce the understanding that science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics are not only complementary, but also mutually dependant.**


See the [[:brainbox:home|BRAINBOX Task List]] for more detail.
