Project Timeline
In order to get the most from this project, classes should be looking at a minimum of 10 weeks to complete the project. The project is live over both terms 2 and 3, so there is plenty of time to get stuck in.
Week 1: Identify your Dunedin 2040 issue(s) to explore and craft a driving question.
Week 2-4: Start your observation and finding out stages. Explore the issue through research and experts.
Week 5-6: Build your prototypes for your concept.
Week 7: Gain feedback on your prototypes (peers, teachers, school community, outside experts)and adjust as needed.
Week 8-9: Prepare final presentation.
Week 10: Present to your school community and choose an exhibit for September exhibition.
