What a great idea!

What a great idea!

Over the last few weeks we have been inquiring into innovation and if community and innovators are dependent upon one another. The students have had some insightful discussions about the concept of innovation, innovators and the concept of the 'Butterfly Effect'. Here are some quotes that demonstrate the high level of thinking the SNC students’ have!


The Butterfly Effect
“When something little becomes something big” ~Luci
“I think it’s related to Chaos Theory” ~Tom
“I think it’s like a chain reaction” ~Genevieve
Innovators
“They don’t give up, they are resilient” ~Nova
“Inspired by the community to do something for the community” ~Karla
“Innovators have an idea and a goal, they try to create change but in different ways”
Innovation
“Everything is connected and some how becomes a new thing”  “people join to make an ideal become real” ~Julian
“Like the Butterfly Effect, where things start off small and get bigger and bigger” ~Eliza
“First you begin something and then others join” ~Rueben


The students in Sui Ne Cieli have also had the opportunity to start experimenting with their own ‘innovations’ and engaging in the design cycle during our paperclip challenge! Here are some humorous advertisements some of our students made up about their innovations, and some photos of the students engaging in the innovation cycle!












We look forward to seeing how the students progress as we delve deeper into the concept of innovation and they venture through the design process, working towards an innovation of their own!

If you, or anyone you know, have had a great idea or innovation, please feel free to share this with us in our Learning Community, we would love to hear from you!
