Things that are fine on their own can become something amazing when you combine them the right way. Can you design a system where the pieces help each other?
Instructions
Each question gives you three things (people, places, or resources). Your job is to combine them into ONE idea where all the pieces work together — not just a list of separate uses. Explain how the pieces help each other for full credit. The best answers show why the combination is better than each piece on its own.
Question 1 of 4
Your school has three things that aren't being used well: (1) a group of older students who need volunteer hours for graduation, (2) younger students who are struggling with reading and falling behind, and (3) a school library that's mostly empty after 2pm because there's no programming to bring students in.
A neighbourhood has three resources that aren't connected: (1) several retired grandparents who are lonely and have free time during the day, (2) working parents who can't afford after-school childcare and worry about their kids being home alone from 3-5pm, and (3) a community centre with a kitchen and activity room that sits empty every weekday afternoon.
Your town has three things: (1) a community garden with more space than the current gardeners can use, (2) a middle school that wants students to learn about science and responsibility but has no budget for new programs, and (3) a local food bank that never has enough fresh vegetables.
A high school has three underused assets: (1) a woodworking shop that's only used during two class periods a day, (2) a group of students with learning disabilities who struggle in traditional classrooms but are great with their hands, and (3) the school's old furniture (desks, chairs, shelves) that keeps breaking and getting thrown away because there's no repair budget.
