PBL VLC: Post your name, one interesting fact about yourself, and the problem you plan on developing for your ALU! by Mina Harris https://padlet.com/mharris65/ttetuxj0lxdg We want our students to be problem-solvers. Our future needs problem-solvers! So let's provide them the support and environment in our classrooms to solve authentic, relevant, open-ended, and complex problems! en-us 2017-12-30 17:58:18 UTC 2018-01-24 13:43:49 UTC hello@padlet.com Alex https://padlet.com/mharris65/ttetuxj0lxdg/wish/223797076 Fun fact: I'm an artist.

PBL: working title (needs work):

Reinventing the Wheel: Developing Efficient Tools for Collecting Clean Energy 

Students will investigate current practices in energy production and develop/3D print/test designs for ubiquitous clean energy collection (water/wind).

Problems:
-We are in need of clean energy resources. How can we source clean energy through water and wind?
-Our current water+wind energy collection methods are not used for collecting a significant amount of the energy we use. How can we create a design that can be used to collect energy in more places?
-Many people don't like the aesthetics of wind turbines. How can we create an efficient design that complements the aesthetics of the landscape?
