Teachers, administrators, and staff are invited to join their grade-level tech teams. Each team will watch a video and have 15 minutes to design an escape vehicle using supplied materials and anything found on their imaginary island. Teams must choose roles for members and can only communicate electronically. Their escape vehicles will then be tested for ability to float across a simulated body of water.

1. School Teachers, Administrators and Staff
Join Your Tech Team Now!
1. You will join with the other teachers, special education teachers,
professionals and administrators that work with your grade.
2. So – get up from your current tables and join with your grade groups
now. 9th in the right back, 10th in the left back, 11th in the right front
and 12th in the left front. You’ll have 3 minutes to take your new
places.
3. Your first task is to choose your role in your group.
a. Recorder/Writer Researcher
b. Speaker Facilitator
c. Care Taker Food and Games Provider
d.Cheerleader Muscle
4. As you were told in your email calling you to this meeting, you
may not talk, but only communicate through your cell phones
or laptops, via email, text, chat or discussion boards.
5. Your first task as a group is to watch the video, and then to
design an “escape vehicle.”
6. Send your care-taker and facilitator up to the front to get
the supplies issued to your team. You will not get any more
supplies, but may use natural supplies you find on your island.
7. Once you take your supplies back to your team, your team will
have 15 minutes to build a way to get back to civilization
from your island.
8. Your means of escape will be tested on this “water” up here,
and it should be able to float from one end of this waterway
to the other.
9. Good luck!
