Learner University: Piñata Perfection (Grades 7-8)

In this Project-Based Learning (PBL) exploration, learners in grades 7-8 will take a deep-dive into the multi-cultural origins and significance of piñatas then use the design process to build a piñata that is “perfect” for an upcoming event or celebration. Learners will be challenged to utilize math and engineering skills as well as apply design and art principles to their final product, culminating in an online showcase, and possibly followed by a real-life celebration that features their piñata.
