9th grader leads origami workshop
Ms. Piana's level I Drawing class took a break from working in 2D to take an origami workshop with 9th grader Dexter Namkung. Dex walked the students through his very own diamondback fighter design, a "simple" 26 step process! After completing at least one origami figure the students arranged them alongside found objects to create a still life to draw using soft pastels.

Skill Building for Innovation students presented final prototypes to National Park Service staff and received feedback with offers for future internships!
Turdus migratorius: the scientific name of the American Robin, as identified by a smart birdhouse designed by Skill Building for Innovation students. They also designed a water wheel and foldable collection device to monitor and record stream water flow.
These projects were in response to challenges set forth by staff members from the National Park Service’s Northeast Temperate Network who were looking for better ways to gather and analyze data from the variety of natural resources that they monitor across eleven national parks n the Northeast. To culminate a semester-long project, students presented final prototypes to NPS staff and received feedback and offers for future internships! (Take a peek at an in-progress website for Spybird.)

Trigonometry students work hard on Unit Circle Project
Trigonometry students are working hard on a unit circle project. Students selected a teacher or an administrator to design and create a unit circle.
Students had to come up with interview questions and then interview their adult about the design, materials, and special considerations for their unit circle. Then students went to the Innovation Lab and designed and created their adults' unit circle.
When their unit circle is done, students will create a rubric and survey to get feedback on the whole process of this project. The goal is for students to practice interviewing others, designing and creating something that someone else gives the details about, creating a rubric and survey that will provide them with feedback on their process and product, and finally, using feedback to help them improve all of these skills.
