Grants also support efforts to develop new learning environments to understand how schools, libraries, museums, and other formal and informal institutions need to adapt, change, and collaborate as a result of young people's use of digital media. Projects are looking at learning in virtual worlds, through game design, with mobile devices, and through the interactions in social networks-in and out of school. Resources support new school design, including a model based on the principles of game design that shape and inform all aspects of teaching and learning.

Design Thinking is a methodology that teaches children to creatively solve problems in their lives. We believe that creative confidence comes from repeated practice using a human-centered creative process to solve problem scenarios called design challenges. After using the process on these challenges, they will have another tool, the design thinking process, to apply towards solving real life problems. We hope you use this space to find and share resources to teach design thinking. This is still a working prototype, so feel free to explore and change.
