Students were able to share their ideas for their final challenge: How can we repurpose a vacant lot into a community gem?
4th Grade Idea Lab students shared their ideas with 3rd grade students (who acted as our community members). 3rd grade students asked many questions and gave feedback on the students' ideas.
Please ask your student about the idea that they shared. Students shared in many ways-- 3D models, digital 2D/3D rendering, slideshows, or I-movies. We were impressed with their creativity and their sincere desire to help create an idea that would help their community.
Prior to this challenge, students were given a chance to experiment with a digital floor plan. Students were asked to create a bedroom, bathroom, and closet that met exact size specifications. Once students finished this, they could try their hand at making a whole house floor plan.

I may have to hire a few of these designers for myself one day!!!
We culminated our year with peer-voted awards and a video that shares some of our highlights together.
that we shared during our last class.
I will truly miss this group of students. Not only were they brilliant-- they were happy, funny, caring, and hard-working.
It is no wonder that they were winning teamwork and innovation awards. They have a special place in my heart!!!
Once a turtle...always a turtle.
Please don't be strangers and come back to visit!!
