The Human Impact Project is the ultimate assessment of the ecology unit for 10th grade biology students at Wai’anae High School. In its previous form, students considered harmful environmental impacts of humans on local and global ecosystems, and created a letter, brochure, or presentation to educate and persuade a stakeholder. Though it had its merits, we found that this project was too theoretical, lacking in research, individually-focused (rather than collaborative), and broad. Maddie and I were inspired by the design processes of the Innovation Lab, and felt that this was an opportunity to revamp the Human Impact Project into a meaningful learning experience that involves advocacy, community relationships, and innovation. Aligned with the Aloha+ Challenge goals, students create ideal visions for their community, identify concrete problems to address, bridge connections with community partners, use competency-based assessment, and make real change in their community.
