  1. Building Skills for Innovative Enterprise in Secondary School STEMJayne HeathEduard MocanuChris Heddles

  2. Australian Science & Mathematics School Located on campus of Flinders University

  3. The Australian Science & Mathematics School • A public school that caters for years 10 – 12. • Purpose designed open learning environment, opened in 2003 • 360 students and 35 teaching staff.

  4. Mission, vision and nature of the ASMS • A school for the renaissance of teaching and learning in science and mathematics • A school to create learners who are critical thinkers and problem solvers, communicators, collaborative, and creative and innovative • A school with global recognition for innovation, excellence and enterprise • A school for all South Australian students

  5. Skills for the Future Workforce Future Workskills 2020 Institute for the Future for the Apollo Research Institute

  6. Doing things differently! ASMS is innovative in approaches to teaching & learning

  7. Innovation Thinking Skills

  8. ASMS has developed a strong pedagogy of student centred inquiry-based teaching • helping students find answers to their questions • providing activities that provoke these questions and then creating opportunities by which students can gather and interrogate evidence and information

  9. IMSA Model for PBL used with their permission

  10. Understanding the Problem Derailleur Hanger “weak link” Costs ~$13 to replace Doesn’t always break when it should No common design between different bikes

  11. Exploring the Possibilities 3D printing as a possible solution Cheaper (<$1 worth of plastic) Always “in stock” May break more readily than metal (good thing) Start with simplified copy of original geometry Modify the designbased on testingoutcomes

  12. Resolving the problem Improvements made so far: Switch from ABS to PLA for brittle fracture Modified geometry to improve stiffness Remaining challenges: Inconsistent properties between samples Different strength in different directions Rate-dependent strength.

  13. What kind of inquiry?
