My Students

We are a project based class that focuses on learning by doing. Our learning is contextualized, and driven by our projects. On a typical day you will see diverse students working in collaborative groups building, experimenting, and researching.

Our class (and school) is rich with diversity.

About 1/2 of the students at our school come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have elected to come to our school to be part of changing what education can look like. We learn by doing and building. On any given day you will walk into a class to see students planning, building, talking. Social integration is achieved through strong, relevant, hands-on projects. Our students are engaged and very enthusiastic about taking on challenging roles within projects.

My Project

Our students plan to use this equipment to take on a VERY unique and progressive project where we plan to use quad-copters equipped with go-pro cameras to assess ecological areas to determine their biodiversity and overall well being. We will use this data to make seed-pellets that will be dispensed over these areas with quad-copters specifically built to dispense seeds.

This idea is completely new.

The challenges are large and the learning opportunities are incredible authentic. Every student will be part of generating a cutting edge concept that has the potential to change the way we approach ecological assessments and rehabilitation.
