Service Learning and Snowballs

We had a great first day back!  As a class, we have decided to take on a project to improve the playground for all.  Currently, there is a section of the hill designated for throwing snowballs, but some problems have emerged as it is not engaging for some to throw snow at a hill.

The class is applying the engineering design process to come up with a solution.  Today we worked on ASK:  What is the problem?  What are the constraints? and also IMAGINE: brainstorm ideas.  Tomorrow we will choose the most practical ideas out of the many that came up, and PLAN.  Later this week and next week we will CREATE and IMPROVE when needed.

Our imaginative group of engineers is eagerly working on finding a solution to benefit the whole school!
