Our community that is everyone who lives in Zory and its surroundings: kids and adults. They have opportunity to relax in Rudy Wielkie Parkland, where besides didactic paths and natural monuments, people can admire the old monastery.

In addition we decided to show its meaning and functions in the neighbourhood, and history of the monastery standing in the center of the park.

E. Additional comments concerning your computer and/or Internet access (Optional):
One of the three fully equipped computer classrooms was won by our school in all - Polish contest “Superschool”.
4. Problems We Had To Overcome
To gather the necessary information for the project we had to visit the park in Rudy Wielkie several times. We wanted to take the pictures of the park in each season of the year. It was a problem because we worked on something we couldn’t control, e.g. the weather which made us to change our plans several times. Once when we were taking pictures which were to show spring, warm weather, the terrible hailstorm started. Another problem was not very convenient public transport which didn’t let us visit the places we wanted easily. Moreover translating all the texts into English was not very easy for us.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
Rudy Wielkie is today's one of the few places where human can meet and be with nature. However, when they are ‘meeting’ they don’t destroy themselves, but they are trying to take from this meeting benefit for each other. Our thing to do is to create more places like that.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Fifth category affect local attractions – which are made by people and nature. Those category perfectly fit to our project, because the park about we made our project is an effect of nature and people's work. For example, at this time in the park are carry reovation's works of old cloister. Thanks to this place's wide variety of functions, students learned something about culture. We also learned something from history of Cysterican's Order. Cistericans are monks, which built there cloister and planted this park. We learned new facts about geology of this place, too. Notice – boards with names of species which are near every nature monument help us to recognize an old and rare species of plants. It is really helpfully for students in third classes, because on biology lessons they are learning about ecology, and endangered species. We checked it- more comfortable is to see some species by your own and mix with it, than learning about this by books and internet.
