Solving Big World Problems for
TOMMOROW'S LEADERS
This project is a part of Pete Schwartz's Appropriate Technologies
class at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
About The Project
We designed a curriculum and taught an enrichment class to 4-6th graders at Teach Elementary School that is centered on the Big World Challenges that affect people around the globe. The class, Big World Challenges for Tomorrow’s Leaders, led the students in investigating how these challenges impact their lives here in San Luis Obispo and the lives of children in unindustrialized countries. The students learned about and experimented with existing appropriate technology, and engineered new ideas to address these challenges!
