The Big Project Earth Day Video

Our Project Manager (Will) and Communications team (Kylie, seen here in the pic, Jersey and Macy) worked with a DSBN video crew to create a promotional video for the schoolyard revitalization initiative we are calling The Big Project.

They represented the class and our vision professionally and articulately and should be very proud of the risk they took to speak on camera.

The edited version of the video will be released close to Earth Day in April and we will be excited to share it here.

Solving Problems with Time Constraints

One of the most difficult skills to master is how to solve problems under time constraints.

In class, we are working on finding the right balance between writing accurate, clear and effective solutions and completing work within a time limit. There is little value in working on a beautiful solution that can't be completed on time. There is also little value in finishing a solution on time that isn't accurate or clear.

Students worked in partners to solve this cylinder problem. We reviewed each group's solution so we could determine the most effective strategies. Here you see solutions created by Bannon and Macy and Colin and William.
