To install the new heating system, questions, problems andideas were converted into realtime learning. The old waschanged to a wood pellet burner. The 2000 liter diesel tankremoved and replaced withone big pellet distribution box.To design the box, visual spatial skill was taught by practicing with different objects andshapes. Perspective drawingsand orthographic projection.When fixing in one place,somewhere else breaks or berenewed. Unstable electricity,the water pump broke, and theold radiators were too small.The youths learned about
wiring, replace a water pump,and to install heating radiators.What type of vocational skillsdo the youths want. In thecareer planning sessions, theyidentified comic charactersrelated to different professions.Direction of activities resultedin a microcosm of society, a"microcompany school" wherethe youth were exposed to theoutside world through theirown activities of rudimentarycompany management. Starting with "Design and Planning"department and executing theplans through other departments, made the learning fun,challenging and interesting.
