Have you heard the term "finsta"? What does it mean? A finsta is a fake Instagram account used for posting to a specific group of people or to post anonymously. "Anonymously" means without anyone knowing who you are.

What are the reasons someone might have for creating a fake social media account (i.e., a "finsta")? Why post messages or images only to certain people or post them anonymously?

Some reasons might include: To post about topics that only certain people will be interested in, To post messages and images that are more casual or personal for close friends and family, To post messages or images that are hidden from certain people (i.e., parents, teachers, grandparents, etc.), To post things that they don't want to be associated with in real life (private thoughts, inappropriate jokes, mean comments, etc.).

How do you feel about fake social media accounts?

Engineers use a process to create new inventions and to make old inventions better. It is called the Engineering Design Process. Watch the video below and then complete the design process circle in google draw. To complete the circle, click on the circles to the right and move them on top of the circles on the left to create the completed circle. Stop and pause the video along the way to make sure you get them right.

Now that you have explored different STEAM careers, take it one step farther and explore various real-life innovators. These innovators have helped to shape our world and make all of our lives better.

Remember: An invention is creating something new to solve a problem.

An innovation is making an invention better or making improvements to an invention that already exists.

The first slideshow below is an example of how your project should be set up. The second slideshow is for you to use to complete your project. If you want to you can also create your own project using google slides, or google draw, to present the information outlined in the direction slide. When you need to find pictures, use the two website links below (google images, pixabay, and unsplash).

Create a presentation using Google Slides explaining what each letter of STEAM means to you. You will create a definition and find images that describe each topic of STEAM. Remember, STEAM stands for: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Create a presentation using the "create" button below. I have created a template (example) that you can use and edit below.

Also, I provided you a rubric so that you can check your work.

PLEASE REMEMBER...I want to know what each topic of STEAM means to YOU, NOT what you have copied and pasted from the internet. Also, please check your work for any misspellings and use complete sentences with periods. I will be deducting points for mistakes like this.

STEM careers, or those related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are among some of the most interesting, challenging, highest paid, and most needed of all 21st century careers.
