Week 1

During the first week of the bITS program students were introduced to their project. Our project is Greenworks is based off of Mayor Nutter's plan to make Philadelphia Green. Target 1 is simply a subcategory of the Entire Greenworks group, we also have two other groups that will be focusing on Energy saving methods and also another group that will be focusing on ways to reduce waste, be sure to check out their blogs as well!
This week went very smoothly. Everyone seems up to the task and ready to go. I introduced everyone to blogger and they all had no trouble navigating around it. I think the project will be great when it all comes together.
We also made maps of our neighborhoods to compare where food is located in relations to our homes. I did this exercise to get everyone thinking about the project and to get an idea of what it is they really had to do. This created discussions about what is available around Temple.
