In a time before social distancing, we were able to capture our last classroom in maker action with one of the participants of the Creativity Project class, Keri Annis and one of her library classes at Pierce Elementary in Cedar Rapids.
In this challenge, students tackle the idea of creating models from a fairy tale that could move. The students created pigs that could move or roll into the three houses in sequence with the story.
To get started, students randomly drew a card from a bucket that either had a pig or a house on it. Then, they found the student who had the same card as them and that's how they found their partner and prompt for this maker challenge. Quick and easy way to jump in and start creating!
We love a makerspace mash-up and this episode, the students incorporated green screen technology to place their models in a fairy-tale setting. Check out what the students created in the student edition below.

Those Pigs are Popular
The three little pigs are so popular! We have actually used them in a prior Think, Make, Innovate and there are so many different interpretations of the story, which is an amazing test of creativity in itself.
