Group 25
Project Goal:
To determine the pros and cons of an edible garden program at University Hill Elementary by evaluating various sites at the school that could serve as a potential space for the garden. Their research will be used by school coordinators to apply for a grant.
The Journey:
This group started off confused due to a number of communication mishaps, they thought they were doing one thing, but they were actually doing something completely different, and no one was really quite sure what that was. Eventually they got in touch with the Vancouver School Board’s dietician who led them on the path to establishing their research question. They worked with grades 1,3,5 and 6. They got the kids to sample different foods that could potentially be grown in the gardens and did an art project with them where they created their idea of what a garden should look like.
Group Dynamic:
This group is very large and they’ve had their share of communication issues. The biggest one has been trying to get everyone together to work out the project details, but they have figured it out and are well on their way to completing their project!
