“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”—Helen Keller

Dear all transportation engineers,

Welcome to day 15. I am so excited to bring another project into the world of students and teachers. This one comes from an educator in Florida who I am so lucky to have met and have a chance to call a friend and colleague. The work Amanda is doing is so good and full of so much quality. It is not just her, but her school and the culture they have created.

If you have not listened to our conversation together about her learning space, then please take time to listen to how she operates her learning space to allow projects like this to happen.

We have also captured pictures of her space as well for you to see.

We hope you enjoy the 15th day of making project. Go make some ornaments that inspire and remind us of the real importance of this time of year!

Create

The 15th project is a project that can really allow communication and collaboration to take shape. This is a great project for kids to embark on as they have to consider many unique concepts in order to build their transportation vehicle with the mix up of vacation plans!

Students will need to collaborate to make this project work and in the end students will come up with some really thought provoking ideas!

Thank you Amanda for the lessons plan and documents for students. Everything you need has been considered. Enjoy!

Share

Add your project or any other projects you are working on through these options to share how you approached today’s challenge or the one from yesterday. Then, check out and comment on some other examples when they are shared.

Besides using the hashtag #25daysofmaking on Instagram and Twitter I am also posting the projects over on Facebook so you can interact on this platform as well.

Finally, don’t forget to head over to Flipgrid and introduce yourself and/or your students!

Reflect

This element is important! Don’t neglect reflection on your own learning. We must be lifelong learners and be models to our students.

Take a moment to reflect on your creative process by sharing with the hashtags and other mediums. Let us start a conversation about this concept. How did remixing help you? What questions do you still have about remixing?

Project Sharing

I went back to Day 6 and dove into making Scratch program math designs for some thank you cards I needed to write. This was so awesome. Be sure to take time to experiment with the projects. You might just learn a thing or two!
