Students went through the rapid protyping phase of design thinking to create

this solar powered house with a koi pond using recycled material.

Design doing in action gives students opportunities to consider

interdisciplinary concepts of engineering and  sustainability.

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.

Our girl engineers in a competition to build the tallest structure experimenting
with loads that create forces on shapes. They won.
Students collaborated to design this calendar using natural resources and recycled material.
Teamwork creates community building and inspires one another to extend ideas for individual
design thinking prompts.

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.

 

Preparing for Thanksgiving, our young innovators considered products
that would help the homeless: a pill to clean teeth, a pill to get you to stop drinking alcohol
free sock cleaners on street corners like mail boxes, food pills just add water,
pants that poof out into a bed, a grocery cart that turns into a small house.
Sewing for bean bag design leads to individual projects
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
Students take every opportunity to design. At workshop it is a Makerfaire everyday.
Makings costumes instead of buying them turns design thinking into design doing.
This project stemmed from redesigning the classroom. Students designed a bean bag chair and learned
sewing skills at workshop to take elements off and on easily. One project leads to another in a dynamic
living curriculum.
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.

 

Ideating for a chair design at Stanford Design School.

Prototyping wall: Each object represents an idea that each student chose to investigate.

Rapid prototyping allows for experimentation and avoids the trap of becoming too invested

to redesign if necessary.

 

Observing video book

Students created their own stories and turned them into a video book. This student is observing his video book to make appropriate changes. His book production was a team collaboration.
