Make Space Project
Overview
A PBL project I did in my HS physics and math classes to allow students voice & choice in the design of a maker space my school was building. It followed the Buck Institute model and allowed students to prove mastery in a varitey of learning targets per topics in both courses (probability, geometry, functions, algebra, and trig in geometry and force, energy, electricity & magnetism, etc. in physics). Please feel free to remix this project to suit your own needs.
REMIX - New Entry Event for New School Designs
Make Space Entry Event:
Please access the following resouces and spend 30 minutes researching images and content to get inspired about what is possible in school design that takes advantage of place and an intentional focus on maximizing the learning environment for students. After you have done your initial research, get in groups of 3-4 and share what you found with yoour peers so that you can create an empathy map that synthensizes your observations into a set of design principles you will carry forward in the project (use this article to learn more about empathy maps: https://openpracticelibrary.com/practice/aeiou-observation-framework/).
