Project Day 1:

This community building project is a task that is combining our English, history, and engineering classes. We are suppose to create an activity or game, that can be integrated into the space, with the goal of making the community there more sustainable. Our over arching question is: How can you make a community sustainable? We will use interviews and observations to narrow this question in order create a solution.

Today was our first time working together as a team. We began by discussing the location that we will be working with, Windsor High School. All of us identified the various locations on campus that are not used and the ones that are. We decided to scope down on the quad because it is the central area of the school. There, it could have the greatest impact on the students on Campus. We went out to this space to get an idea of what could be done.

As we returned to class, we began brainstorming. As a team we began a google doc folder and started a doc to compile interview questions. Meanwhile, a few group members printed out maps of the high school quad and created a key, so that we map the people that use the quad.

At the end of the day, we decided on group roles. It ended up being:

• Team Leaders: Dylan and I
• Marketing and Media: Jarod and Carla
• Engineers: Brien, Royce, Thomas, and Steven
