As part of MLC School\u2019s partnership with Sydney Science Park, Year 6 students recently had the opportunity to discuss their upcoming research projects with specialists in the fields of Health, Heat, Urban Agriculture, and Circular Economy.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As part of the Year 6 CLP unit, Understanding the Properties of Matter Helps Make Sydney Science Park Innovative, Liveable and Sustainable<\/i>, students explore real world challenges and opportunities connected to the development of sustainable communities.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Working alongside Year 6 teachers and STEM educators, students follow a design thinking cycle to investigate authentic problems, develop innovative solutions, and apply their learning in meaningful ways. In collaborative groups, students research, design and create a product that addresses a challenge linked to their area of focus.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The project culminates in a Showcase, where students present their ideas and prototypes, demonstrating their creativity, critical thinking and understanding of how science and innovation can contribute to a more sustainable future.<\/div>\n
