Connecting students to authentic real world problems is motivating and builds community links

Year 2 are currently working with North Sydney Council, on a very real environmental project.  Students will be reporting to council on a range of solutions to environmental issues. These photos show the students work last term with colleague Meghan and I facilitating some great brainstorming sessions with groups. The results will be interesting! The main rule in brainstorming is never say “it can’t be done”. Students will now develop their own science experiments to prove their theories and have started building designs using lego, and recycled materials.
