Resilience Rovers: Innovate, Adapt, and Thrive!

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

This project immerses sixth graders in a multidisciplinary exploration of resilience in the face of hardship, connecting historical, scientific, and mathematical concepts to real-world applications. Students will engage in hands-on research and design activities that challenge them to analyze migration patterns during the Great Depression, understand ecosystem changes during droughts, and apply principles of geometry and physics to create innovative solutions for disaster relief. Through collaborative model-building and critical writing exercises, students will develop a deeper understanding of how individuals and communities can adapt and thrive amidst adversity. The project culminates in a presentation to local emergency planners, where students showcase their resilience pods and proposals, demonstrating their ability to apply knowledge creatively and effectively. Activities will be designed to be inclusive and engaging for students in ELL and dual language classes, incorporating visual aids, bilingual resources, and opportunities for peer collaboration to ensure all students actively participate and succeed.

Resilience Pods: Crisis Solutions from Literature

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

Inspired by Bud, Not Buddy and Out of the Dust, sixth graders at Prairie View Middle School will explore how people and environments respond to hardship. They will research migration during the Great Depression, analyze ecosystem changes during drought, and study the properties and density of matter to design solutions for disaster relief. Using geometry and volume, students will design and build models of “resilience pods”—portable shelters for people or animals affected by crisis. Through character analysis and explanatory writing, they will connect fictional resilience to real-world survival strategies. At the final exhibition, students will present models, maps, and proposals to local emergency planners.

Math Memories: A Personal Journey

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

Math mindset, c. What are your histories and past experiences with math? d. What aspects of math do you most enjoy? e. What aspects of math do you most dislike? g. In which ways do you learn math best? An activity where students build a picture poster where presenting their future ideas about where their future math mindset will be. Encouraging the growth of their mindset. ( the following questions are Words or representation on the picture poster) What can you use to remind yourself to keep trying especially when it gets difficult? What can you say to yourself when you make a mistake? or Write a mindset word or statement that can encourage you in the future when math is challenging . Key Shifts Self Regard Depth is more important than speed - video youcubed.org "Speed is not important" Ask students are you a slow math thinker or a fast math thinker? give an example. Is there another context where you are the opposite type of thinker? in groups, use their statements to create (maybe a chant or poem or song, or etc.)

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.
