Each student chose an SDG that they were passionate about. After brainstorming with like-minded peers, they set out to innovate solutions to the problems that exist. Here are their designs!

Students brainstormed real-world issues and then came up with creative ways these could be solved.  From anti-bullying to safe housing to climate change.  Their ideas could change the world!

Students were given the opportunity to work together or individually to create a new innovation.  We first had a discussion about the SDGs and the goals the UN has set for 2030.  Students then chose an SDG to focus on and developed a new innovation to change the world.  

For our first brainstorm about innovation students were allowed to pick an innovation of their choice.  They then explored the history/development of this innovation, the pros and cons, unexpected impacts and where they see the innovation going in the future.  

Here is our Sustainability video in which we explain our idea for how to have students help students towards no poverty, SDG #1. 

This is our week 2 drawings of our SDG inventions as part of the Innovation Project. I have a group of grade 4/5 students (10-11 year olds) in Blackstock, Ontario, Canada.

Prototype to follow in week 3

Each student has chosen an SDG to focus on and is brainstorming, researching and video blogging about innovations they have discovered. Here is a peek at some of our work!
