Students complete Exploravision projects

oshiba Exploravsion Honorable Mention Winners here at LEMS   We would like to congratulate Peter F., Victoria B., Zy-Onna K., Myriam Z., and Devjot K. for completing projects for Exploravsion and receiving Honorable Mention Awards.  These awards place the students projects in the top 10% of all projects that were entered into this national competition.  Exploravision is a national competition where students take a current technology and forecast what it will be like in 20 years.  The students work on this through the GT Research class in 6th grade.  The students must conduct research on what the current state of the technology is and then decide what advances need to occur to help it improve over time.  They must also discuss how the technology will be developed and the process that are required to do so.  The project can be up to 11 pages and also included sample web pages and detailed bibliography.  These students projects and well as all the others from GT Research will be on display at the Enrichment Fair on May 24th.  The Exlporavsion web site is https://www.exploravision.org/  if you would like to learn more about it.  Congratulations our students for representing our school so well.  

   

The Exploravision challenge is a national competition where each team (2-4 people) has to write an abstract, an eleven page paper, create a bibliography and draw five sample web pages.  Each team has to chose something they want to improve.  The paper discusses the topic the team chose and is split into seven parts.  Present technology, history, future technology, breakthroughs, design process, consequences. The bibliography is not apart of the eleven-page paper.  The present technology describes what has happened recently with the topic the team has chosen.  It should describe the most recent advances with their topic, and also the most commonly heard of way to use the team’s topic.  The history portion of the paper describes the history of the topic the team chose, and should also include important dates in history for that topic.  The future technology portion of the paper should describe the team’s idea of what their topic will be like in twenty years (2038).  The future technology should also go into as much detail as the competitor can about how the future technology would work.  The breakthroughs portion of the paper should describe extremely important events that need to take place now or sometime in the future in order for the technology the team describes to become a reality.  The design process portion of the paper should describe the rejected ideas they had for their topic and why they rejected those ideas.   The consequences portion of the paper should describe the good and bad consequences of their future technology.  The bibliography should include every source the team used when writing their paper.  The five sample web pages should be similar to an advertisement and describe what their project would do and how it would work then cite any sources they used for the web pages that they did not use for their paper.  The aThe Exploravision challenge is a national competition where each team (2-4 people) has to write an abstract, an eleven page paper, create a bibliography and draw five sample web pages.  Each team has to chose something they want to improve.  The paper discusses the topic the team chose and is split into seven parts.  Present technology, history, future technology, breakthroughs, design process, consequences.
