The #Trident Project
During our second lesson at Dare to Challenge lab, we were asked to group with our teams and list the problems that may concern our Goal, or at least what we believed. We were handed big blank papers and countless post-it notes to start our “kind of brainstorming” session with our teams.
It was a seriously productive hour since we managed to accomplish a series of tasks. Post-it notes were constantly flying around and conversations were heating up as the team was trying to figure out what problems does the ocean, the seas and the communities around them face.
Through discussing we realized that there actually plenty of issues that concern the ocean, besides the very old-fashioned but still seriously relevant pollution. After some minutes we managed to create our own canvas with the issues we would like to address and a series of problems the team believed were the most grave ones.
We sketched our canvas to make it as aesthetically pleasing as our drawing skills could and we also noticed that by the way that our post-it notes were aligned could vaguely and conveniently represent a Trident, in a metaphorical and also actual manner. So there it was, our team’s name. Trident!
After presenting into class our final product we got assigned with a new task and we headed back to work.
Meeting with the communities was the next station.
