Student-led Learning at New Myrnam School
New Myrnam School students and staff are going to be featured in an upcoming issue of Lakeland College’s Limitless magazine for their innovative project that involved junior high students creating a net zero greenhouse and garden for the school. The project was made possible because New Myrnam School won a grant for $10,000 through the BP A + for Energy Program. Part of the project involved students of New Myrnam collaborating with Mr. Rob Baron, who is a faculty member and program head for the Renewable Energy and Conservation program at Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alberta. Students were able to tour the campus at Lakeland, where they examined real life examples of sustainable greenhouses and renewable energy. This helped them in planning and designing their own projects. Mr. Baron provided support to students and staff at our design conferences during the school year. He also was instrumental in helping teachers plan the project during the summer.
