Winging It

Challenging Question
How can you build a place for flying animals in Rapid City?

Project Description
When was the last time you were outside?
When was the last time you stood and listened to the sounds of the outdoors?
Have you ever built something with your hands?

Winging It is going to provide an opportunity for students to get outside, connect with nature and build a structure that will hopefully be placed in a location that will attract their winged animal. Students will be expected to research, design, prototype, test and build a structure for their flying animal.
Students will identify the resources that are needed. Students will have to research the structures that they are making and what makes them specific for their animal.

The goal is to get students outside the classroom walls.
Observing the spring rejuvenation and animals and plants coming back to life after a cold winter.
Planning and prototyping their designs.
Building with their hands something from scratch.
