Our second day at Casey Middle School on Wednesday was very much an "adventure." The day started off a bit rough, however, it turned out to be very productive, I feel. The students in the first of my two groups were very interested and enthusiastic in expressing their ideas to us(CU Students). However, the problem with time arose with the first group having to be rushed, and many of the ideas that were expressed were very imaginative. Due to the time constraints, it felt that there wasn't enough time to cover each of the many, many ideas being offered up and try and redirect some of them towards sustainability. The opposite can be said about my second group, where there was excessive time, which was nice to be able to cover each students ideas, but once we had completed the activity the kids lost interest in "secondary" activities fairly quickly. However, overall I feel that the students enjoyed being able to express there ideas, both verbally and visually, to the CU students, and start to think about design. Additionally, both of the classes showed positivity towards the after school club starting next week. It will be interesting to see what next week holds in store.
