Students will research the coexistence of technology and nature by investigating 'The Wild Robot' and California native peoples, engaging in collaborative storytelling and dramatic readings to uncover cultural traditions and sustainability practices.

Students will collaborate in small research groups to synthesize findings from their exploration of California native peoples' sustainability practices and scenes from 'The Wild Robot,' leading to the development of a unified actionable problem statement that addresses the essential question.

Students will brainstorm diverse creative solutions by collaboratively exploring artistic and technological themes from 'The Wild Robot' as they relate to California native peoples' sustainability practices, engaging in small group critique sessions and reflecting on how these ideas can be expressed in mixed media art, digital presentations, and fraction-based calculations.

Students will create and refine testable prototypes of visual art pieces and digital presentations that integrate California native practices, scenes from 'The Wild Robot', and energy transfer processes, using mixed media and mathematical calculations to present innovative solutions for sustainability and coexistence of nature with technology.

Students will document and present their findings by creating interactive digital presentations, showcasing mixed media art, and engaging audiences with dramatic readings, reflecting on lessons of coexistence and sustainability drawn from their research and projects.
