Obstacle
course/tuff
mudder
type
event
• 6
giant
obstacles
o Behind
the
Oaks
o Register
as
teams
o Possibly
open
to
community/maybe
just
campus
wide
Each
obstacle
would
be
related
to
a
global
issue
or

around
the
world
(clean
water,
child

sex

etc.)
Support

would
Global
Issues
is
involved-­‐
in
the
research
of
the
obstacles
and
the
decision
making
process
of
which
global
issues
will
be
represented
in
the
course.
This
event
would
involve
quite
a
bit
of
research
into
the
issues
going
to
be
in
the
spotlight,
if
we
are
going
to
present
these
to
the
campus/community
we
need
to
be
doing
them
justice.
Although
this
would
be
presenting
them
in
a
light
hearted
way,
we
need
it
to
also
leave
an
impact
on
those
of
us
building
the
event
but
also
those
that
attend.
Class
objectives
involved-­‐
• Understand
the
range
of
problems
facing
communities
both
near
and
far
• Understand
the
inter-­‐relationship
of
community
problems
on
a
global
scale
• Work
cooperatively,
using
sound
critical
thinking
skills
and
cultural
awareness,
to
propose
solutions
to
at
least
one
problem
• Clearly
present
potential
solutions
to
appropriate
groups
Why
should
this
be
held?-­‐
This
event
should
be
held
not
only
to
bring
awareness
to
less
publicly
talked
about
global
issues,
but
also
to
let
the
staff
and
student
body
see
what
could
be
done
to
make
even
the
tiniest
Impact
in
the
solutions
to
these
on
local/state/national/global
levels.
It
would
also
allow
the
IDST
students
that
will
be
graduating
this
December
or
May
put
all
of
the
things
they
have
learned
over
the
last
4
years
through
freshman
studies,
critical
thinking,
creative
experience,
and
global
issues
together
for
one
last
all-­‐encompassing
project.
*It
is
an
understood
that
safety
of
the
participants
would
be
of
concern
and
we
are
looking
into
specifics
on
liability,
and
will
be
more
concrete
with
that
once
obstacles
have
been
decided
on
and
planned
out.*
