Each year Andi’s school, Learning Unlimited, host a science fair.
Collectively, the students put it a staggering amount of time and effort. They spent months and countless hours researching and prepping their projects, and the result was an impressive display of ingenuity across the board. The competition was fierce and until the awards were announced, Andi didn’t think her project was going to win.
Carina, being the scientist, was more involved than I was. But by and large, she let Andi and her partner Manni work it out themselves. Cari’s role was limited to proof reading their reports and helping them construct their display. All of the credit for the field research, the model construction, the surveys, and the imagination behind the project go to Andi and Manni.
In addition to learning about their subject, it was also interesting to watch Andi work through a complex project with a joint partner, navigate the people skills needed to pull it off, and juggle time management to put in the required hours to make it all a success. Job well done on all counts, Andi! Read the rest of this entry »
