Students will engage in a 'Community Immersion Day' where they partner with local environmental groups to conduct interviews, gather insights, and observe local agricultural practices to better understand community needs and environmental challenges, laying the foundation for their sustainable school garden project.

Students will collaboratively synthesize their research findings with peers to craft a clear and actionable problem statement, integrating diverse perspectives to guide their school garden project, and facilitate impactful team decision-making.

Students will collaborate in teams to brainstorm and map out diverse, innovative solutions for their projects, considering input from local environmental groups and integrating strategies to address the essential questions and competencies, culminating in sketched proposals and peer-feedback sessions to refine their ideas.

Students will develop and test prototypes for their sustainable school garden solutions, collaborating in teams to create innovative designs and integrating feedback from local environmental experts to refine their concepts.

Students will present their sustainable school garden innovations and personal growth narratives at the 'Student Showcase Event', engaging community stakeholders in meaningful dialogue while receiving actionable feedback to refine their projects' real-world impact and articulation.
