Possibilities wtih the College of the Environment at UW

Today Sarah Harrington from UW's College of the Environment came into the Sustainable Seattle office. Sarah let the office know where the program is at, how its growing and what it's goals are. I think there could be some exiciting collaboration in near future. This could be a partnership between the Dream a Sound Future competition with dreamers at the College of the Environment as well as students from other colleges. This could be a powerful format where students with common dreams could colloborate and be supported in developing their dreams for our region into something tangible and executable. I think the possibilities are amazing and expect to be surprised. I can even see something where students are competeting across the country and are bringing their ideas together in a format like a film festival, WOW! This could be awesome.

While Sarah was here she mentioned this video that some students from College of the Environment produced. Its a crazy cool idea on how we can use air pressure for practical things.....like crushing a can.



Back down to earth, we are continuing to develop the K-12 portion of the Dream a Sound Future competition. We are also looking for a volunteer to take a leading position on the K-12 portion of the competition. This could be a great opportunity for an aspiring teacher to make positive connections and gain valuable experience. We are connecting with interested teachers, as well as looking at the potential of partering with the seattle parks department.

In other news, we think we have the judges nailed down, and we are super excited about that and will unvail the judges soon.

We are also close to making an official press release to invite the community at large to participate in the competition.

Thanks for reading, we'll catch you soon!
