In the INNERnet Connection Project, students explored aspects of modern labor and industrial era history, learning space design, and progressive work spaces, with a focus on humans’ relationship to technology. Using our own campus as our laboratory, students created data collection tools about stress, anxiety, and our learning spaces. We then developed beta version experiences to address student and staff needs related to coping in a high-stress, high-”noise” society by creating opportunities to de-stress and reconnect. My group and I made a mini garden in the back of our school. We also made and scale model, and later on a concept board, for our installation. Throughout the project in my math class, we learned about surface area and volume. With that, we calculated the surface area and volume of both our scale model and what our real life model would be. Based on beta-users’ feedback, the scale models and concept boards and statements are proposals for dream installations at High Tech High. We will be sharing our findings with school and student leaders in hopes to integrate solutions that holistically address our community’s learning and wellness needs.
Below is a picture of my concept statement, scale model, concept statement, and math calculations! Feel free to look at my work (: |
