We set learning goals and work through tasks and projects towards sucess criteria.

We independently plan our approach, put it into action and revise it based on our own reflections and feedback

We develop solutions to challenging problems, sometimes without all the information we need to complete the task. We investigate real world issues experienced on a global scale. We explore, evaluate and implement innovative solutions to these problems
