The Task

Use the five steps of the Community On Demand™ STEAM Investigative Process™ develop a meaningful solution that can address, reduce and/or eliminate a problem that is positively or negatively impacting your community.

Service Goals

As you begin your STEAM Investigative Process™ for this challenge, demonstrate mastery of your Community On Demand™ STEAM Investigative Process™ decision-making skills by:

• Explore your community to identify resources that can be used to address socio-economic conditions that positively or negatively impact your community’s ecosystem.
• Use your skills and resources to create an impact solution for each socio- economic condition, then determine what skills and resources are still needed to completely solve the problem.
• Create a series of itemized tasks and action items that, when implemented, will lead to the systematic reduction or elimination of the negative impact felt by each socio-economic condition.
• Assign the series of tasks, action items to dates and times to implement your plan of action and demonstrate the effectiveness of your impact solution.
• Create digital content, financial reports, and other documentation to present your skill mastery, level of real-world readiness, and results of your impact solution.
