NEW for 2012! FOCUS on COLLABORATION!!! We are adding a category challenge for 2012: Collaboration. [It is optional and individually created hexagons are always welcome.] In keeping with the concept of Interdependence – understanding and practicing skills that lead to solutions, statements, understanding and outcomes that are greater than any one individual can produce – …we challenge students and teachers to think of ways they might approach the project with an element of collaboration, teamwork, group interaction and/or problem-solving. Recognition is given to students who demonstrate outstanding responses to the themes of Interdependence in a variety of media.
