Teamwork Practice
Mind Missions are a collaborative adventure. First, students choose a role card for each mission. Students rotate between essential team roles. They each learn to be a leader, materials manager, timekeeper, and recorder. They learn about the importance of each role and the contributions needed by each member of the team. Some students bring engineering ideas. Others provide artistic talents. Another team member may excel in presentation skills. Student teams must work together to succeed. Mission success depends on the collaborative efforts of every team member. Through practice, collaborative skills grow.
