[teen/sl] Global Warming Propaganda Build Off!
Mariel Voyunicef spotted standing atop the location marker a few minutes before the event kicked off.
The Goal:
The goal of the Global Warming Propaganda Build Off was to allow the participants to share their views on a sub-topic of Climate Change. Groups were challenged to create a representation of these key concepts as a second life 3D build. The group's "propaganda" was a product of their own research, discussion and creativity. After creating their masterpieces, each group took turns presenting their work. During the presentations, the groups talked about what they learned while researching their topic. They also were able to review other groups and learn from them. They touched base the moral and scientific importance and explained the elements of their build and why they included them where they were.
How it went down:
Starting off, the attendees were organized into groups of two. Mercury Metropolitan was on site and extremely helpful in organizing the groups. Each group was given a sub-topic of Climate Change. (Clean Energy, Sea Levels, CO2 Emissions, etc.) Once each group received their topic, they were assigned a building area. The first hour of the event was used as a building phase. During this time, the groups researched, discussed, and created their builds.

After the teams were finished, we all gathered together and watched each group present one at a time. The groups came up with great builds and presentations in such a short amount of time. I could really tell that effort was put into their work. Because of the great result, I awarded all participants their choice of 100$L or a Dayton Redux which is a scripted gadget I sell.
