Project Overview

Essential Questions
How have inventions
of the past helped to
create the world of
today?
How can our ideas
make the world a
better place?
What do we envision
for the future?

This project is a part of our year-long throughline about ideas. The first project explored
questions such as: Why do we think the way
we think? Who am I? and How do I fit in this
community of learners?
In this project, our ideas about ideas move
outward from ourselves to our society. We
will explore ideas that have changed the
world, and will create
our own innovations for
the future. We will
exhibit this at our own
Worlds Fair to celebrate
the centennial of Balboa
Park!
