Max is asked to be a part of a very special team—the Change Makers Institute (CMI). The purpose of CMI is “to make significant changes to save this planet and the humans who inhabit it.” Now it is your turn to make a difference. Create your own Change Makers Club in your school or community!
Gather a group of kids who are interested in making change. Remember to create a team like Max did where everyone brings a different skill to the club.
Find an adult to be an advisor or helper for your club.
With your club, think about a change you would like to make in your school or community to help improve it in some way. Try some Thought Experiments to get those brainstorms going! For example, create a program to reduce bullying in your school.
Make a plan! Some things to think about…
What role will each person take? (What roles existed on Max’s team? What personalities fit each role? Something to think about!)
Who are the people you need to talk with to move your plan along?
What materials will you need?
Put your idea into action and make that change!
Don’t stop there…reflect on what went well and what didn’t. Remember, even Albert Einstein made mistakes! Make those changes and plan your next problem to solve with your new Change Makers Club!
