EDGE Project Updates
EDGE students are diving into work on UN Sustainable Development Goal #11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. To start the project, EDGE held a city draft and students had the opportunity to select the city of their choice to research and represent. To see a map of the cities that EDGE students are exploring, check out this Google Map created by Dr. Langhorst. 

This week, students have worked to complete City Scorecards which include research and source analysis about their selected cities for each of the ten indicators for UN SDG #11. As a mini-project, each student created a digital post card to represent their city and its status for one of the goal indicators. Students practiced narrative writing skills and making intentional choices as the author to best relay their message to their intended audience. Students shared their postcards with their peers during a session on Monday and look forward to displaying them at EDGE Exhibition Night. 

The culminating project for this learning cycle will be a mock-summit. Students will represent the various stakeholders (perspectives) from their selected city as they tackle challenging questions and scenarios inspired by UN SDG #11.
