Term 2 InnovatED was all about Aquaponics and taking care of the chickens. This term we were tasked with taking care of the chickens and ensuring that they got the deserved care that they needed. The InnovatED facilitators divided us into groups and we all had to help each other out trusting they would help us out too. Given the task to make the chicken shed more organised we were on our way. We then decided to make a scrum chart to plan out what we needed to do to overcome this challenge. We were aiming to find a more useful way to organise the shed and use every inch of space to our advantage.

A capability that I learnt was being organised. Without organisation, our whole project would have not worked out. If we all split apart and did our own things then the group would not work. After all, we were the group that was keeping the chicken shed organised, so it would be in the best need that we were organised. I also learnt a lot about collaboration. We all had to listen to each other and use all the ideas that we had. I have also learnt that being ethical will be best for us but also for the chickens. We have to make sure that the chickens stay healthy and make sure that they lay edible eggs. If we added other chemicals then the eggs would not be edible and this would harm the environment.
When we first opened the shed at the start of the project this is what we found. We tried to clean the shed as best we could with the resources that we had.
After doing the best that we could with the things that we had we then decided to plan out how we were going to organise the shed.
In conclusion, this project was really fun and I would do it all again if I had the chance. I would also like to experience the other projects too! Getting a good idea of what the whole InnovatED course is about would help me do better in this project. I also liked how the program forces us to work together as a team. This project was really fun and enjoyable for both me and my peers!
