"High school social studies teacher Emily Block had used design thinking in her classroom before, but wanted to take it one step farther and have her students learn by making. Through a course at Scarsdale Schools' Teacher Institute (PDF), Emily incorporated a maker experience into her practice and used design thinking to help her manage the process."
"What is Design Challenge Learning? It's a combination of project-based learning, design thinking and the engineering design process that develops the innovator's mindset through iteration. It's a method of learning for which The Tech is best known.
The lessons on this page, developed over the years by educators at The Tech, will help teachers lead their students through science and engineering challenges. They also make fun and effective team-building activities for groups of teachers."
