Students i action

This is what is might look like when my students are working on a project.

Here they are working on banners for a human race party. The customer wanted to banners that connected Finland and Africa, so my students came up with the idea to make one warm African themed and one colder Finnish themed banner. Besides working on a real project my students also got to work on there color mixing skills and team work.
