Students design for school [sd4s]
CLIENT: rhode island department of education
ROLE: lead experience designer
Design Challenge: To give elementary-aged students the tools needed to redesign their own school experience.
SUMMARY
During the summer of 2014, we worked with a group of elementary school students at the Pleasant View Elementary School to teach them the design thinking process as a means to redesign their school. Based on our learnings, we developed a student-design tool kit, comprised of the curriculum and worksheets that were used. Students presented their ideas to their administrators, teachers, parents, and school principal, and were several were incorporated into the upcoming school year.
