Final Product:

A blog documenting the voyage of the travelling boxes and helps provide instant feedback from students at various locations. On the homepage, students click on the location to go to a blog tracking the individual boxes. The blog will include items such as the reception of the box by the students at different locations, the brainstorming sessions, the tentative solutions, comments, iterations, and the science behind the final product.

 

 

What's in the box:

Phase 1:

Based on a central scene (e.g. water), students select artifacts representing a local problem and put them in the box.

 

Local problem in India: access to clean drinking water

A vial of water from India. The water looks clean, but is it safe to drink?

 

Local problem in California: water wastage

 

Phase 2: product iteration

 

SODIS (Solar water disinfection), Lifestraw, water testing kit

 

 

Feedback

 

The images are very helpful here in connecting the girls at Castilleja with the realities that actual people face in the settings where their partner schools are.  I (Dan) was especially inspired by the vial of water as a both a symbolic artifact of what connects us all as people as well as a specific resource for science learning.   The "Process" section of your concept note is clear and I think that connects with your presentation.  The rationale part of your note should say more about why your solution will make an impact and a little less description (there are a lot of "The idea is...")  I like that you included a few sentences about assessment - but in future papers it would be helpful to add one more sentence or two about how that impacts their learning.  For example, do the girls at any of the sites refer back to this project as they go further on in school.  How might they be challenged to connect or transfer this global project as 12-year olds with what they do later in the curriculum?

 

I liked the process in your slide and the idea that the boxes overlap with one another (and potentially intersect)  I think in future silides including more labels, pictures of people, and some time frame would be valuable.  

 

Thank you for your thinking on this project. - Dan Gilbert
