The final day at Casey

Our last day at Casey Middle School was bittersweet. It was exciting to see all of the designs the students had made of the green roofs coming together and for the students to have a chance to display and talk about their accomplishments. It was nice and relaxing to a have a day just to complete the designs and gave the CU students more of a chance to talk with the Casey students and to interact on a more personal level. The students all seemed very excited about the green roofs they had created and were eager to share their ideas and knowledge on them. Although the beginning days of our Design Club were not as successful as we had planned, the final weeks displayed how a participatory project can work and how it can really benefit youth participants. The hands-on projects really got the students involved and gave them a chance to display what they had learned through their own creative ways. It was a great experience working with the 6th grade students from Casey Middle School and I hope they had as much fun throughout these last few weeks as I had!!
