Entrepreneurship can be taught with this type of collaboration project. One group can come up with the idea of an item to invent or make. A second team chooses supplies to make it from within a select budget. A third group could be in charge of promotions, marketing and sales.
Another idea to teach foods and nutrition is to have one group develop some recipes for a large meal. A second group could take those meals and do the mathmatical calculations to double recipes. A third group could work on ingredient substitutions for nutritional enhancement. Each group could then create on recipe for the meal.
I feel that these examples need to have a componet that uites the problem solving to a greater extent. As they are, one group could really do all three componets. That was the same in the Model T example also. Something is missing that I can't identify at the moment.

I think these are great starting ideas, Diane. I know what you mean about "something missing," though. It would be ideal if we could find a project whereby each "site" needed something from another site that they couldn't provide themselves. I think this is a very difficult thing to come up with, but it would be great if teachers could plan even just one project this way per year and begin to develop a bank of collaborative projects.
