The Minnesota Children’s Museum’s “Wise About Waste” initiative was in partnership with Glacier Hills Elementary School to create an in-depth, interdisciplinary waste reduction project with 100 third grade students. The students learned to reduce waste at their school and in their homes and collaborated with an environmental artist to create waste related kinetic and sculptural robots using recycle materials. Half of the participating students and their families reported taking at least one waste reduction change at home. The robots have been on display in a gallery at the museum along with a take home brochure and “talk back” station for visitors to write about their own waste reduction or reuse actions. 192,000 visitors will have seen the exhibit by December 2009. The Wise About Waste program and curriculum will be offered again to next year’s 3^rd grade students.
