Students went through the rapid protyping phase of design thinking to create this solar powered house with a koi pond using reused material. Design doing in action gives students opportunities to consider interdisciplinary concepts of engineering and sustainability.
Students are given many opportunities to explore their passions. This is a dress designed by a student during workshop.
Taking appropriate risks are encouraged and allow for a safe environment through learning by discovery. Building on
students’ passions give paths for their tenacity to show.
Students collaborated to design this calendar using natural resources and reused material. Teamwork creates community building and inspires one another to extend ideas for individual design thinking prompts.
circuit design:
Students investigate different material and combinations to light the bulb. Students experimented with power sources, checked filaments, improvised, and collaborated to meet this challenge. This is an example of a workshop student determined to solve this problem, even with a broken arm. Tenacity is a crucial element of realized success.
Sewing for bean bag design
After learning how to show at worshop for our bean bag chair design, students took advantage of their many opportunities to create their own design during free choice. This is an example of a wallet designed and created by one of our students from scrap fabric.
Designing Halloween costumes
Games are designed and redesigned. This is hangman redesigned to delete the negative historical ties to this game. Students named it “The Cat Game”. Family is welcome to come in to play the games students have designed. This is the fanciest cat yet.
