Design Studio Club continues for SY 2015-2016! Mrs. Colte and I have 14 boys joining us for clubs this year; we are vastly outnumbered! The students started the year by discussing what they want to make, joining Google Classroom for some community building, and of course collaborating on a design challenge.
Students were asked to create the tallest free standing structure they could with the materials in a basket. Each group tried different things. One group began to copy what they saw another group doing...and guess what...@Michelle_Colte told them "in this class it is okay to copy"! We are all learning together, and every idea can be remixed. Variables were added to the challenge, so it was back to the drawing board. Check out the direction Slides here. We look forward to an exciting year of design thinking and tinkering with these kiddos. Check out some clips from our Tallest Structure Challenge in the video below.
