Green Plan It Challenge

The Green Plan It Challenge is a 10 week project inviting pupils aged 12-14 to rethink the role of green spaces. 

We sent a group of 6 S2 pupils to the launch event for the challenge, where they met their mentor for the project, Dougal Phillip from New Hopetoun Gardens in Newton.   

Over the course of the challenge, the pupils will work as a team to research and create an idea for a new green space.      They will build a 3D model of the space and at the end of the project, will present their ideas to a panel of assessors. The project also involves a visit to the school from the group's mentor, a visit to the mentor's workplace and the opportunity to communicate with their mentor on a weekly basis.
