Sparking Change at AISB - Student Solutions


Below you will find the products of the last three weeks of student work.

In this project students:
  • assessed our school energy needs
  • defined their individual problems
  • chose a solution from multiple ideas
  • presented prototypes of their ideas to classmates to get feedback
  • revised and presented their ideas to an audience of leaders and parents of the school
All projects showed creativity, focus, and effort.  Survey data and student votes were used to set apart a few projects.  Look for projects labeled:

Adult Pick - Based on parent and school leader feedback in the areas of focus, research, practicality
Class Pick - Based on student voting to select projects to send to the school director
