In this program you can build two mini school models. We recommend a 2 session to be able to delve into the topic and projects. Students will discover the genius of new concepts and constructions in response to natural disasters that occur in Haiti and Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, Floating Schools are a cutting edge and creative solution to a difficult problem. Innovated by Mohammad Rezwan as a response to the annual destruction of schools brought by floods during the Monsoon season. These floating classrooms/boats travel along the shore, picking up students along the way.. These boats serve as libraries, computer science classrooms, and standard classrooms. The ingenuity does not stop there, he devised a system to use solar power to energize the Floating Schools so they are able to run electricity and power up computers and lights. Children who were left stranded are now learning again and thriving. This community is being ushered into the future of learning with resilience and fortitude. We will learn from their ingenious solutions in the face of adversity while constructing a Floating School. In Haiti schools have been constructed under tents to make sure that education and resilience continue among their communities. Students will build a tent school with desks and chairs while learning how students around the world adjust to circumstances they are given.
