Experience of Mantle of the Expert

For our seminar we had our own version of Mantle of the Expert approach towards our education. 
Our group had to create an appropriate bridge that's according to the needs of where the city is situated on the map, and present it to the council of that city. 
We chose No. 1, and started getting creative on the questions, working together to answer the questions was difficult at first for we all had different opinions on all the questions, but gradually we started accepting others perspectives. 

  

Without realising we all became embedded into our roles (I was the site manager and the project manger) and started to research into bridges, it became exciting and fun. 

We created a suspension bridge for it was appropriate on where it was going to be situated, we even learned about other types of bridges; just out of curiosity, how it's made, how does it hold up: such as the anchorage system. 

After all the research, we created a small model of the bridge with the materials that was provided for us. And finally we presented to the Council of the city, because they liked it so much they let us build the bridge for their city.

A new bridge will be soon be build in London and it'll be finished in 2017, it's a bridge that I'm truly looking forward to being finished. It's called the "Floating Paradise Garden".
