My Group Project Description
Elementary Environmental Education:
DIY Sunscreen and Seed Bombs
Aidan Parral, Duncan Stewart, Adalberto, and Jazmyn Mitchell
Initially, our group was split into two groups that had different ideas for what we wanted to do for this project. Our group decided to focus on environmental because it seemed like a topic where the entirety of our group could apply our strengths effectively and make a meaningful impact on an individual level. We started by making preparations for the workshops we planned to host by writing lesson plans to get a clear idea of what we would do during these workshops.
The first teacher we approached was the teacher of the outdoor leadership program at HTe, Scott Shepherd. He allowed us to help facilitate his class on the thursday of each week, which was great practice for our group. After that, we expanded and contacted other teachers such as Tasia Paulson and Karishma Sinnott who allowed us to facilitate our own workshops. These workshops involved creating seed bombs with the students along with sharing a short presentation about environmental issues and how they affect us. We thought this would be a great activity for them to participate in because the seed bombs were related to plants and greenery which is related to the environment. Our last workshop was with Scott Shepherd, where we created our sunscreen from scratch with his students. The intended impact for this project was to motivate children to adopt environmentally friendly practices and learn more about how marine debris affects our ocean life.

Throughout this project, our group has collaborated with teachers at Explorer Elementary, High Tech Elementary, and High Tech Elementary Chula Vista to host our workshops. We are thankful for Scott Shepard, Tasia Paulson, and Karishma Sinnott for allowing us to share this amazing experience with their students.
