Blue Planet, Big Impact: Ocean Action Squad

Grade level: Middle School

Initial ideas

### Project Theme | Beyond the Blue: From Awareness to Action Guided by the driving question, **“How can we reduce ocean pollution through our daily actions and inspire others to make a difference?”** this project builds on three years of ocean conservation research conducted by the *Five Dreams Ocean Conservation Team*. Inspired by High Tech High’s Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach, students progress from identifying environmental problems in the first year, to conducting in-depth research and taking action in the second year, and finally developing innovative solutions and advocating for change in the third year. Through interdisciplinary inquiry, authentic learning experiences, collaboration with experts, reflection, revision, and public exhibitions, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and civic responsibility—**transforming from learners of ocean conservation into changemakers for a more sustainable future.**

What if there was a tool to help us take our wild project ideas and create a scope and sequence? There is! Inkwire and the Professional Learning team at High Tech High’s Graduate School of Education designed an AI-assisted curriculum planning tool.

Powered by High Tech High's Kaleidoscope framework for project-based learning (PBL) design, this AI assistant helps educators – and learners! – integrate standards and curriculum requirements into a cycle of PBL Essentials.

The AI-assisted Kaleidoscope tool is co-designed by Inkwire & the High Tech High Graduate School of Education Professional Learning Team. The "Design for Deeper Learning Kaleidoscope" framework is copyright by the High Tech High Graduate School of Education.
