I want to convert kilograms into stone.

1 stone is 14 pounds1 kg is 2.2 pounds

Stone = (kg × 2.2) / 14

So, let's turn this formula into a program!

Maths Problem Solving in Python

Maths Problem Solving in Python

mass_kg = int(input("What is your mass in kilograms?" ))mass_stone = mass_kg * 2.2 / 14print("You weigh", mass_stone, "stone.")

Programming involves decomposition of a problem.

Students break the problem down into component parts and solve each step in sequence

3D Printing

Build 3D model files using Tinkercad – a free, online program

Students work with digital dimensions & geometrics

3D Printing

Project Idea - STEAM

Students investigate global superstructures – design, materials, geography, etc.

Create their own unique superstructure design, for social good, and print a prototype model of it
