Purpose: The presentation seeks to reintroduce staff to Project X and to the theme for this year - TIME. It explores one perspective of some time related concepts including history, music, movement, media, time travel and science fiction.

Concept: The concept of time is familiar but not well explored. A minute is a small unit of measurement

Minute to Win It

This Project X experience was aimed at experiencing one of the most familiar terms and units of measurement of time - a minute.

Common expressions are built on an understanding and familiarity of this term:

Just a minute; It'll only take a minute; Do you have a minute; Wait a minute; etc

But what "can" we do in a minute?

Purpose: There is a link between the inquiry process and the design cycle. These two elements are explicitly connected and are developed over the SSIS K-12 learning experience.

Concept: Spending time - being "in time", 'out of time" and having "time out". Being "in the moment".

In Time and Time Out

Participants rotated through three activities to experience different concepts related to time.

Dance and Music Activities: Moving "in time" with the music. Being "in time" with partners.

Drumming Circle: Being "in time" with other players. Being "out of time" but in rhythm.

Mindfulness: Taking "time out" and considering time as a currency - spending time, saving time, etc.
