Description:
How can we get students engaged as critical thinkers, creators and makers? Learn about design thinking and how the LAUNCH cycle can be a framework to focus students through the process. 1) Look, listen, learn; 2) Ask tons of questions; 3) Understand the process/problem; 4) Navigate ideas; 5) Create; 6) Highlight and fix and then finally LAUNCH!
