Foundations: STEM + Arts Skills for Learning 3D Design
Discovery
Using power of observation and patterns in nature, LARK Learning makers discover as they build - and test - how their original piece works in a proposed environment. Nature, light and motion are all key factors in Lark Learning at home via Zoom or outdoors in yard, park or playground.

*PreK - Gr. 2 Story & STEM choose an ecosystem from around the world
*Gr. 2- -5 Learn Math Code and Design 3D printing with BlocksCAD
*STEM Garden Designs - 4 Season hands on Planting with Purpose
Exploration
Studying classic prototypes such as Davinci's 'Rotor Copter' with the principles of physics from Four Forces of Flight without grading or restricting materials, LARK Learning makers focus on the hows and whys of their models, and brainstorm uses as they record in their own way what works and doesn't work. History of a design, ways prototypes were used, purposes today and in the future, as well as experimenting with how parts move and how materials function are all part of the Lark process. Design using BlocksCAD software (using intuition to build 'blocks' of code) rendering 2D and 3D projects and modeling using recycled materials, 3d STL prints, and various kinds of crafts, wood, foam core, card stock, LED lights, foil, wax paper, cardboard, paint, rubber stamps, pipecleaner, markers of all kinds encouraged.
Hands on Learning Skills
Designing and building for the best purpose and results require testing and tweaking original work to produce positive results, and sometimes happy discoveries are made along the way. The STEM Engineering Process of Identifying the Challenge, Sketching it Up, Exploring Materials, 2D Modeling by hand, 3D Design, Rendering Prototypes, Testing and Tweaking are all part of the Lark Learning Process. Whether designing 3D models on the computer screen, or interpreting shapes and movement from sketches or interactive parts - for any age it's the power of observation, and ability to bring one's own originality to an object of 3D output that makes it an object of art.
