Yesterday actually went really well. It was a surprise to show up to six Casey students. The activity was a good way to bond with the kids and just hang out, while at the same time trying to touch on a some aspects of sustainable design. I think that the kids really enjoyed doing this activity because it did not involve too much thinking, and was a fun and social project. I think we could have been more effective on the teaching of city planning if everyone was to work on one big model, however it seemed like most the students wanted to do their own... which worked out and was still a learning experience. I was really surprised by some of the creative things the kids came up with putting into their cities. One kid implemented a space center, another put the wind farm on top of buildings because he argued it would be windier higher up and therefore more efficient. In the end they were thinking of sustainable factors that play into cities, so all in all it was a success.
