YEPs Backyard

YEP’s Backyard - a term 4, 2009 interactive, online project for schools

New Zealand school students, from year 1 to 10, are invited to design a yellow-eyed penguin-friendly habitat restoration plan for an online New Zealand Science Festival and Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust, Science and Technology Education project.

YEP’s Backyard (http://www.megabright.co.nz/YEP/home.html) uses Edward de Bono’s Other People’s Views to look at yellow-eyed penguin issues from a dog’s, fisherman’s, farmer’s etc points of view. Using this information the group creates a habitat restoration plan to submit to experts for feedback. Students also assist the project by providing student-friendly information for their peers on the website.
