In grade 9, we explore the science of sustainability and consider the social, economic and environmental impact of the choices we make now and in the future. Each semester students are inspired to design a sustainable space camp. They create teams, based on their own interests and curiosities, and find ways to experiment and design things we would need to live sustainably.
