Do you or your company have a project that you just don't have time to do?

Would you like to get involved with a local school working on authentic problems?

Do you want the perspective and help of our youth to help solve a problem?

PROJECT GIVE BACK is a way for our local community to give back to the school community by giving us problems to solve.  In turn, we hope to return the favor and give back a solution/idea/product.  

​Is there a better way to teach our students how to solve real world problems than by letting them learn by solving real world problems?

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

You might have a problem or project idea that can be solved by our Jasper students.  You share the idea with us and Jasper educators will use our experience in education to possibly turn this into a school project.   

Step 1. Identify the problem or project that you need help solving.  

Step 2. Describe the problem or project and submit the description on this page below. 

Step 3. If it's something that fits in Jasper, we will reach out to you.  There are times when a problem/project could fit directly into our core courses.  It could also be a project for an individual to do in our Design & Development class.  This is when we work together on the process, timelines, and all logistics.  ​

EXAMPLES

Local Councilman asks students to help solve a problem of local river erosion and bridge damage after the problem was brought to him by area residents.

Resident concerned about the bee population asked students to research this topic and create/3D print honeycombs to allow bees to focus on pollination and honey gathering.

A local museum is committed to offer modified programs for patrons with sensory sensitivity that are ADA accessible. In conjunction with Autism Awareness, the museum hopes to raise awareness and empathy for students with sensory sensitivity by designing a museum simulation for patrons with sensory sensitivity.

An elementary school teacher has a classroom that has centers for active learning and lots of movement.  Unfortunately, the classroom amplifies sound, rather than absorbing it and classroom activities become excessively loud.
