"Kids should be allowed to break stuff more often. That's a consequence of exploration. Exploration is what you do when you don't know what you're doing. That's what scientists do every day."
~Neil deGrasse Tyson
Okay, Mr. Tyson. We can get on board with that! Let's go!
Students in grades 3-5 will spend three weeks deconstructing donated electronics, sorting the materials collected, and then reconstructing those materials into an art project that will tie in to our study of ocean conservation and Global Goal #14. These electronic sea creatures and sea life will raise awareness as art that expresses our belief that the ocean's ecosystem is valuable and we want to our best to save it!
The students' imaginations were instantly fired up as they found pieces of electronics that looked like a shark's fin, or a crocodile's snout, or a turtle shell. They quickly got to work and began creating impressive works of art!
Although these masterpieces won't be ready in time for the school's art show this week, we're certain that the finished products will be worth the wait!
