Students planned their own charitable organisation and propose an action plan to raise funds.

Grade 8 - Modern problems require modern solutions

In groups, students will research a problem that faces the world and choose a technology that could help solve that problem.
Students will create a 5-10 minute presentation on the problem and solution they chose, accompanied by a creative product or device of their chosen technology. Students will be given creative freedom when choosing their problems and technology.

Students must first identify the problem they are trying to solve.
From here they need to create and build realistic solutions for these problems.
