So I challenged my students with a RIG for Halloween. RIG stands for Rapid Idea Generation. Students are given a challenge with a tight time window. It's basically like physical brainstorming. Because they have such little time they need to dive into the project and work collaboratively to solve it efficiently. They don't have time to second guess themselves or for doubt to set in. Afterwards, one person explained their design in the sharing portion. Then the creations were dismantled which is also an important part of the process.
Today's challenge was to build a model of a Haunted House and then walk the rest of us through it with their description. They could use anything from within the classroom. The creative chaos was super fun to watch and document. Kids create amazing things in 10 minutes......
