This dam is the 2nd highest in California and is he 5th tallest in the U.S. Downstream, 5 miles, you will find 2 of the largest Pelton wheels in the world being driven by the reservoir to generate electricity.]]> 2020-11-10 22:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/910815655 DLR_Group https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/910820775 2020-11-10 22:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/910820775 June 16, 2020 REPORT: Curriculum Workshop Visioning Exercise: Wouldn't it be cool if...? DLR_Group https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/917813006 On June 13th, Curriculum Development Consultants Anna Newman, M. Ed.  and Nicodemus Ford led a week-long virtual workshop to guide teachers to create innovative Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) aligned curriculum for the Center.  Dr. Marilyn Denison, DLR Group team’s educational planner, facilitated an exercise prompting teachers to think about what they would need at the site to support their vision. The abundance of ideas shows how excited the teachers are and how this is already a step in improving our education system. ]]> 2020-11-12 18:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/917813006 August 24, 2020 REPORT: Curriculum Update DLR_Group https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/917816781 On August 24th, the momentum continued with a Curriculum Development update report was shared. The team consists of two consultants leading and 45 teachers with all grades represented. Many of us non-educators learned a new term - a “Solutionary Unit”.  A solutionary is able to identify inhumane and unsustainable systems, then develop solutions that are healthy and just for people, animals, and the environment. Conscious of their personal impact, solutionaries also endeavor to do the most good and least harm through the choices they make.” ]]> 2020-11-12 18:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/917816781 October 20, 2020 Board Visioning Discussion DLR_Group https://padlet.com/dlr_group/1ugi2dsq415ud9ig/wish/917822344  At the 10/20 Board meeting, they spent some time doing a visioning exercise to prepare for the Yuba Watershed Experience Center Kick off meeting the next day.

Regenerative design is a process-oriented whole systems approach to design. The term "regenerative" describes processes that restore, renew or revitalize their own sources of energy and materials. Regenerative design uses whole systems thinking to create resilient and equitable systems that integrate the needs of society with the integrity of nature.
