Dunedin 2040 website: 6 challenges for the city's future

After learning about Growing Up Boulder through an internet search, Iain Cook-Bonney, from Dunedin, New Zealand contacted GUB Program Director, Mara Mintzer in regards to his city's project:  Dunedin 2040.  Cook-Bonney runs a cluster of nine schools that focus on STEAM learning, Project Based Learning and Digital Collaboration. This year, they are undertaking a joint project called 'Dunedin 2040' in which students tackle  issues facing the city over the next 20 years.  After watching Mintzer's TEDx talk and per Cook-Bonney's request, Mintzer engaged in an hour-long Q & A session with several hundred Dunedin students, ages 5-13, about how they could contribute to their city's future.  In addition, Mintzer updated the children on new projects and updates to the Boulder Civic Area since her 2017 TEDx talk.  Watch the interview below!
