Teacher:
Agustina Arenzana --Grade level: Preparatory (students are 5-8
years old) Climate:
Tandil's climate is mild and humid,
with
an average temperature of 13.8 C (56.8 F) and 888.6
millimetres (34.98 in) of precipitation annually. Mornings are
often cold in autumn, winter and spring, and generally fresh in
summer. Fog and frosts are very common in autumn and winter. Minimum
temperatures below −5 C (23 F) have been recorded
in winter months. Rainfall occurs throughout the year but more
frequently in summer. Snow and heat waves are not
very common. We will create a highlander
monster that will protect the mountains in Tandil from those who
try to exploit them. The excessive exploitation of these natural
resources is destroying the wonderful landscapes in our city. Our
monster will watch the mountains all day long, and it will have wheels
to move around and check that they are safe. |

We are a class of 27 Year 2 students (7-8 year olds) from St Joachims Primary and our teachers name is Miss Gray. There are about 330 students in our whole school from Prep to Year 6. We are located in the suburb of Holland Park West in
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and our area is described as a leafy suburb because of lots of big trees that line the streets. Even though we are lucky to have a lot of trees and beautiful gardens in our school, ours is an inner-suburban city very close to the city centre. 2 million people live in the wider Brisbane area and we could always do with more trees and greenery to help with the
pollution and make our city a more beautiful place. The moving part of our monster will be his legs so he can walk around
planting trees and caring for the environment. |

| Our project is based in Rocinha, the largest favela in
Latin America. Here in Rocinha, we run an after school program that provides kids a way to get off the streets and better themselves. At our project we teach a range of classes with a focus on English and STEM. Our current onsite coordinators here at Project Favela are Lily Harrington and myself, Anna Balch. However, Chris Hubbard and Valentin Partsch are in charge of our Fazedores (Engineering) class at the moment where we will be working on the monster. Here is a Google maps link to our location: http://bit.ly/2fQueV4 As for how our Monster would make our community a better place, we are in the middle of a conflict between the police and traficantes here in our favela. Our monster will create a force field around the good citizens of Rocinha in order to keep us all safe. Favela Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/projectfavela/ |

Lisa
Diessel, Grade 1/2 (mostly grade 2; St. Jean de Brebeuf
Catholic School 44.12
North, 79.62 West, 267 meters elevation We
are about a one hour drive north of the Great Lake Ontario, and the
large City of Toronto. Our school is located in
Bradford, Ontario, Canada, and is made up of 222 students from
Kindergarten up to Grade 8. We are the smallest school in our town,
which is made up of 35,325 people, mostly of European descent. Were
happy that our community is becoming increasingly multicultural, with
students who have family backgrounds from all over the world including
South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Bradford is a
suburban town, and most of our parents drive to other larger towns or
cities to work. Our town is surrounded by farmland, including the
Holland Marsh, a primary vegetable region of Canada. Every summer we
celebrate our farming roots during our Carrotfest.
If
our Monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) he
or she would make our world a better place to live in by flying
around, picking up garbage thats on the ground, and teaching
people to use packaging and containers that can be washed, recycled,
or composted. Our monster knows that people need to use STEM to come
up with good ways to make our environment cleaner and better for
everyone.

Canada. Latitude (45.216335) and Longitude:(-79.507119) The range of the average monthly temperatures is a high of 29 degrees Celsius and a low of 4.8 degrees Celsius. In Ontario we have four seasons (winter, spring, summer and fall) Our winters are cold and snowy, our summers are hot and in the fall we have colours everywhere. We are small class of 18 students aged 9-12 years. We are just under 3 hours north of Toronto. We are lucky that our school is in a natural setting, with many animals. We have been fostering Monarch Caterpillars that were in danger due to human activity. We have rescued 37 so far and released 3. Watt PS is in the town of Utterson, just outside of Bracebridge, Ontario. We only have 87 students in our whole school K-8! Our Monster will use STEM to remove plastic garbage in the worlds water systems by scooping it up and straining it with the tea cup. The sea garbage the Monster consumes is its only food source. The Monster never gets full because it has little robotic miners in its belly that further breakdown the plastic and convert it to energy. Our Monsters arm that holds the tea cup can pivot at the elbow (fulcrum) so it can scoop, strain and and eat.

Mr.
Humble's Monster Makers - Hello from Class 4. We are 28
children from years 5 and 6 . Our school has 100 pupils (four classes
from reception to year 6). We are 9, 10 and 11 year olds who are very
keen to get going in this years Monster Project. This will be our
tenth monster. We also like to play internet chess and
if anyone would like a chess match against some keen English kids,
please get in touch: jhumble@st-oswalds.cumbria. Burneside can be found in the English Lake District at Latitude - 54.3556 North, Longitude -2.7628 West You
can find out more about us on our wiki (http://humbleclass. If our Monster used STEM it would help promote peace through friendly discussion. It would never boast or think it was better than anyone else. It would try and see other peoples point of view and it would help research Earth-friendly projects rather than ones which damage our planet. (Body) |

Joanna Waszkowska: grade 4 (10-11 years old), teach Polish
language and literature. The name of class is "IVc" --
Primary School No. 38 in Sosnowiec,
Poland. GPS: 5017'30.4"N 1910'38.0"E (50.291789, 19.177225) -- High/low temperatures: https://pl.climate-data.org/location/1796/ In summer the temperature is usually 20 degrees Celsius, but it happens, as this year, that it is higher than 30. Similarly winter - usually it is -5 degrees but there are big drops of temperature, up to -15 degrees. Our
school belongs to the schools team, and there are also children with
different types of disabilities (mostly motorized ones, several people
in each class). There are 25 students in our class and ten of them
like STEM. Our robo-monster,
if it were to exist, would deal with rubbish to recycling.
The moving eyes would blaze specific parts of the garbage that could
be processed, but the NECKLACE would
be most important part, because it would act as a rubbish
radar detector. Then
the robot would rub in his hand in special gloves and flatten it. Then
the gears spin the garbage in the belly, shredding the garbage into
pieces that fall into special pockets attached to the strap under the
body. When the robot completes the entire collection of the
waste, kick the ball joyfully or spin the torso. In our
imagination, this Monster
works at supermarkets and in residential garbage. There
will be several moving parts. Mandatory necklace. Intrusive eyes.
Moving in hands (horizontally). Gears in the belly. Leg kicking the
ball. |

Achinsk, Russia. Coordinates- 56N, 90E . It occupies nearly 1,060 sq km. The population is over 100,000 people. Achinsk is located in Siberia. The climate in Siberia is severe. In winter the frost can reach 40 C. The nature is very beautiful even in winter when everything is white and shiny. Kids like to play outdoors even when it is very frosty. They ski and skate, sledge, play snowball and make a snowman. Our school includes several levels from kindergarten to high school. It has a lot of clubs such as judo, art, dancing, singing, fashion, drama and other clubs. Students are friendly and caring, curious and creative. High school level students help teachers arrange competitions, contests, projects and other events. We like working collaboratively with schools of the world. This is our second participation in the Monster Global project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtuaBoauebw If our Monster could make the world a better place to live in, our Monster would prevent international conflicts. He would also find foster parents for children and protect their rights. He would help the world to get rid of the aggression and evil. Then there would be no wars, terrorist attacks and crimes. He would also bring water to Africa and other places as much as possible. He would create a neurohelmet to control robots through it. The robots would collect all drugs and make fertilizers from them. Also our robot would eat garbage and make a rainbow from it (genius idea). Email: jhangiryan75@list.ru -- skype lusinej3

We are very excited about participating this project. This is the first time we have involved in a global project. We are sure that we will have a lot of fun while creating our monster. Our monster will have moving eyes to catch the criminals and protect people from accidents. If our monster used STEM it would help animals and he would help people who face the natural disasters. He would stop terror attacks. Our monster will bring peace for everyone. Latitude 39.14, Longitude 34.16 -- (Eyes) |

College Station Elementary - Little Rock, Arkansas. We live in Little Rock, the state capitol of Arkansas. It is home to the Clinton Presidential Library and Heifer Project International. Little Rock is also known for Central High School, a
US National Historic site, where nine African American students integrated the school, which had been for white students
only. There are several good books and movies about it. Little Rock is located at 34.75N and 92.29W. We have a temperate climate and it rarely snows. Sometimes we have ice storms in the winter. It is mostly hot and very humid. We get more rain than most people realize and there are a lot of hills even though we are close to the river. Our coldest months are January and February, when the temperatures are an average of 30F. In the summer it gets up to 100F with high humidity. Our school is located near the airport and near to the Arkansas River. It is a neighborhood school with under 150 students ages 4-11 (pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade). We have special classes including Art, Music and P.E. We also have orchestra and classes for gifted students. The 17 students in our class are smart, funny and nice. We like to play basketball and football at recess. We also like to play video games and listen to music. Our monster has special powers. The monster is a peace maker. It can make violence stop by melting weapons and stopping violence. It makes people who are sad and lonely feel better. It uses powerful words and the strength of its voice. Its movement is reaching out a helping hand. School web: https://cses.pcssd.org/ -- (Pet Bat) |

Fahrenheit in the winter to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Right now we are experiencing a warm
summer like autumn and the leaves are changing into beautiful colors. We are a class of 18 students with a variety of interests. We like to go on hikes, write, play outside, play soccer, read , swim, help the community, play football and hockey, do gymnastics, go shopping, play basketball, play instruments in the band, and do arts and crafts. Our non flammable monster will make the world a better place by extinguishing forest fires. It will use its wings to fly superfast to the forest fires. Its moveable parts will be its fire extinguisher hands that carry tanks of water. It will also fight terrorists by spreading water on them that turns them into nice people and cleans up their act.

| Hi we are
Ms. Badens PreK/Kindergarten class from Lake Asbury Elementary School located in Green Cove Springs,
Florida. Our school mascot is Rams. We are a small class of 6 students, 1 teacher (Ms. Baden), and 3 assistants (Mrs. Stravato, Ms. Williams, and Mrs. Brown). We are very active and love to do hands on activities. We are really EXCITED about building our
Monster, Irma, and having her in our classroom. We are located at 30.052914 degrees latitude and -81.81629 degrees longitude. The temperature here can get into the high 90s and sometimes can go into the 20s (though that doesnt happen very often). If our Monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) she would make our world a better place to live by creating an app that could connect survivors of natural disasters to instant resources in their communities. Irmas fingers would be her one moving part. (Belly Button) |

Collaborative Writing Monster Project Latitude
and Longitude of our school in Joliet, Illinois, USA. 41.5N,
84.14W There
are 26 students. We recycle to make sure we do our part to
help the environment. We help others out by doing service
projects. Our school motto is RISE - Respect, Integrity,
Service and Excellence. We take pride in living out these.
We use our talents in and out of school to help those in need.
If our Monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math (STEM) he or she would make our town (or world) a better place
to live by creating a system to make sure we all have clean drinking
water. This is especially important after seeing the
devastation in Texas and now Florida. Even though we aren't
directly affected, many have family members in this area and want to
do what we can to help. Our school recently had a book fair.
Students were able to buy books or donate money for books to
be bought and sent to schools affected by the hurricanes. Our
Monster would be a part of the relief efforts in helping clean up
and providing people with the necessary means for survival. |

Hello, my 6th grade innovation classes would like to participate
in the monster projects this year. We have three sections of 6th
graders- We will be working collaboratively to complete this
project. Latitude: 39.7023 N, Longitude: 91.1532, We are next to the Mississippi River, Temperatures in the summer can range from upper 80s-105 degree Fahrenheit with high humidity. In the winter, our temperatures range from -10 degrees Fahrenheit to 30s. We see all different kinds of weather. We
live in 5 small farming communities that make up our school
district. The main crops we farm around here are corn and beans.
In our school we have lots of technology, every student uses an
iPad. Our innovation class is fun. We build things and
imagine/think like engineers. If
our monster used STEM... He would use STEM to help kids learn how
to build and make other monsters. He would be a genius in
science and math, so he could help kids who are struggling. He
would also teach kids about technology and how to be engineers.
Then he would use his skills and build machines to help make the
world a better place. |

The X-box controller is a fidget spinner, which will grow to 1,000 times its size and remove pollution from cities. His nose ring will be used to translate what other people say so that the world could live more harmoniously and peacefully. Our monster will have liquid nitrogen coming out of the toothbrush that will freeze the polar icecaps. He will use Google maps to teleport to places experiencing poverty and natural disasters to bring supplies and clean water! web: http://www.odysseydayschool.org/ (toothbrush) |

we want to make the tail of our monster mechanically
alive. Our school web address is Fuquaschool.com

our smartboard a lot for instruction. We are very lucky to have Chromebooks
for every student to use in class. They enjoy playing math games and

Overall, our school is super fun and we can be involved in multiple clubs. Our monster will show kindness to make the world a better place. It would
open doors for people. It would help people when they have groceries or holding something. Its
arm is mechanically alive so it can open doors.
