In our first episode, Sarah Osborne reflects on the ways that projects designed in real-world contexts inspire students to work collaboratively and propose creative solutions. Sarah shares the current Grade 7 design technology project where learners are building a sensory wall for toddlers in our preschool. We discuss how meetings with the youngest clients enable connections throughout the community and motivate Middle School students to solve design challenges. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing an outstanding example of impactful learning at ISS.

Stay tuned for updates and student interviews from this real-world learning experience.
