Open Lab

Actually we met up at 10 a.m., but a friend of mine was visiting and I had to pick her up at the airport. So I was a little bit late. 

PROJECT PLAN:

End result:

We want to achieve a recycle school, the perfect recycle class.

We want the children to come up with innovative recycle ideas.

What would it look like? The actual day?

Make a little prototype? Present ideas

How to get here:

 

Make the children aware (feel):

Questions to discuss:

  • What kind of garbage do you have in the classroom
  • What things need to be/can be recycled?
  • What happens to garbage? Why is recycling important.
  • What kind of garbage splitting do we already know/have
  • What kind of extra splitting do we still need to do then?
  • Have we seen those somewhere else? What did it look like?
  • Where do you bring the garbage that has been split? Or does somebody pick it up?
  • Are there things we could use to make new things with?

Visit an actual garbage disposal centre.

Ask the cleaning people, what they do?

 

Get them to come up with ideas (imagine).

  • Split up in groups
  • Do research, books, pamphlets, games, 

Making a prototype (do):

Using recycled products?

 

Presenting (share):

Each group presents their idea. Entire group votes for best idea (not allowed to vote for your own group). Best idea will be impgtylemented.

 

Who will be involved:

 

  • Class teacher
  • Children/pupils
  • Parents (visit to garbage centre, materials)
  • Other teachers (do they want to use it/do the project?)
  • Principal (implement it in school?)
  • Garbage centre 
  • Cleaner 
 
Afterwards Nicolai's brother was presenting the topic "Social innovation and professional relations".
For me it was so enthusiastic in it, because it was such a great example. I´m also a football coach, so it was the perfect example. He told us about so many different stories and how can we use social innovation. 
 
 
Sharing investigation results 
We were presenting our project in a small group and heard the other project too. It was great to hear about the other groups. There were so many good ideas. 
 
 

Module evaluation

We had to write 3 good things and 3 bad things about the innovation class on a paper. After that we gave the papers around and we read everything and gave points. 

1. I totally agree ---  2. I don´t know ---  3. I don´t agree
