The what and why…..
Students (and teachers) are at various places along the road to
developing proficiency with thinking systemically and employing
System Dynamics/Systems Thinking (SD/ST) to address complex issues
and increase understanding. We seek to encourage students and teachers
to develop an understanding of the use of SD/ST tools. We also know
that we need an environment, free from the "winner/loser"
constraint, where kids can receive feedback from other kids as well
as from teachers and professionals well versed in SD/ST. DynamiQUEST
creates a venue for both celebrating what has been done and providing
encouragement for all to continue!
In this spirit, DynamiQUEST
was launched last year. DynamiQUEST 2001 will provide a venue for
students in Grades 5-12 to showcase work in which they have employed
the tools and method of system dynamics. This effort has several
purposes:
- Provide a way for students to meet other students and see what
they are doing
- Permit teachers from different schools to see evidence of student
work in ST/SD
- Provide a venue for teachers and kids to network
- Have some fun and celebrate with your kids!
