What would you do if you were stranded on a deserted island? Working through a series of challenges, you and your team will use critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills to figure out how to survive. Students will decide which supplies to salvage from the ship and design a tool or contraption to collect coconuts from tall trees. You will create a detailed map of the island using cartography skills, keep a survival journal to record strategies and discoveries, and much more!
