Today we launched the matrix PBL. Students began the session with team meetings where they decided on a team manager and began the planning process.
The model is set, with zoning drawn up in chalk. Teams are now ready to plan within their relevant areas.
The Project Managers and Architects were exploring the model to see where the zoning has been drawn up.
The Transport team was busy getting the main arterial roads drawn up as a first step towards planning for housing and facilities.
It was fantastic to see excellent collaboration amongst students as they shared ideas for the final project.
The National Parks and Wildlife Teams wasted no time in getting outdoors to collect bush debris that will form part if their construction materials.
By the end of the day, students, in teams, collated a list of resources needed to achieve their 'maker' dreams. Mrs. Simpson will be taking this list on the first shopping trip. We will also be starting to check our spending against the $20 budget allocated to each team. The budget was approved by the Mayor (Mr. Grimes) and will be distributed by the Town Planners (Zone teachers ).
