Input by a Biologist and ocean activist regarding coral reefs

  1. „Oxygen generated by the ocean“

The post suggests (incorrectly) that coral reefs produce O2.
Trees are plants that produce O2 (Even trees need O2 to breathe, they just produce much more than they use.).

befter 2020/21 - Focused on city climate and city trees

«befter» project - before & after the experience

The goal
Creating a teams’ experience for building a relationship to the «real world» and in collaboration between teams across the world. The final goal is a publication of the experience on the project website www.dontwastemy.energy as a gift for the world!

The reason why
Through a self-made experience students can reach a deeper learning, activate their previous knowledge and acquire new knowledge. In addition, students can get confidence in their abilities and improve their social and media competencies.

The 7 steps (light towers or milestones)

There are several steps to go through: Your own imagination, online research and team discussion, performing the experience, self-reflection compared to step 1 and 2, finally publishing on dontwastemy.energy and propagation on social media and asking for feedback & comments.
