This week the students in grade six are participating in a mock Dragon's Den activity!
Each child has made a presentation to showcase the key features of his or her extreme environment technology design.
Students have created miniature prototypes using everyday household materials.
Others have worked hard to research the materials they will need and the costs of these supplies so they can calculate their retail mark-up.

Persuasive strategies abound as each entrepreneur describes his or her product, why it is helpful, and why it is worth investing in.
Later in the week, votes will be cast and a winning product will be revealed from each class.
This is a great way to integrate science, design, oral presentation skills, and math in a fun and realistic way!
