This week at a birthday party I found myself once again getting excited describing what is happening in our class. The birthday girl looked at the photos on my phone and said "I never did anything like that in high school!" Did you do any of these things in high school?
#1: Use power tools
Students in MPX 10 combined STEM/Humanities continued to use grinder, welders, recip saws, and hand sanders as they worked on their bookshelf projects. Check out Matt's power stance!
#2 Worked with experts in the field
Ross Mukai, Mid-Pacific alumni class of 2003 works 1 on 1 with the students giving them advice on their bookshelf designs. Ross is founders and owner of Oahu Maker's Space (http://oahumakerspace.com) and problem-solver extraordinaire.
#3 Debate historical events in character
This week in MPX Humanities we started exploring social movements. How is a social movement different from a revolution? What makes social movements successful? Here students debated whether or not President Lincoln should sign the emancipation proclamation and then made a timeline of events that led up to that fateful decision.
