Climate Change Projects: Next Steps

So far with regard to the grant we're apart of of, a grant to support students' local environmental education as well as climate change action, we've done the following:

• teacher education and planning
• student hands-on education
• student teamwork focus, learning
• project identification and first steps in planning

The next part of the project demands that students understand what it means to work as a team well to bring their project from start to finish.

I'll show IDEO's wonderful shopping cart video. We'll talk a bit about it means to work as a team. Then we'll review the project steps including the following:

• start to finish plan
• identification of the success criteria - what will it look like, what will happen, and how will people feel when it's completed.
• creation of drafts, prototypes
• identification of needed materials
• creation of time lines and to-do lists
• project work
• project implementation
• analysis and assessment
