A major goal of this project is to promote CREATIVITY in the classroom. Recent research has shown a decline in these skills as students grow older and move through the education system.
These skills are critical for the world today, and for our futures. Try to provide explicit teaching moments that explain and demonstrate these during your project.

Problem solving: To identify and articulate problems and devise strategies for their solutions and/or management considering consequences and outcomes.
Critical thinking: To investigate the wider social and cultural context of ideas.

Innovation: To realise creative ideas in tangible ways.
Discipline knowledge: To develop expertise in a domain of knowledge that involves specialised content and process understandings.
