“When
I first assigned this project, my students struggled to know
where to begin because of the open ended nature of the competition.
This is actually what I loved most about the project! I was able
to watch the progression of students turn from frustration into
new thoughts and ideas, which were then researched, refined,
re-thought, questioned and analyzed, and finally then translated
into some very impressive final products! The parents were just
as excited as I was to see how their son/daughter’s projects
turned out and the project’s ended up dominating the topic
of conversation. The parents also spoke of how they were making
energy changes within their households and noticed how little
things did made a difference. This is when I realized the impact
of this project and how it transcended beyond the classroom.” more
