Design Ignites Change - Mentoring - School: by Design. A Design Ignites Change and Designers Accord self-guided mentoring program School: by Design is a Design Ignites Change and Designers Accord youth mentoring initiative that asks high school students – in collaboration with their college or professional design mentors – to “redesign your school. " The program has been created to give youth in underserved communities a real world experience using design thinking to communicate their ideas, exhibit their potential and take action in their own lives.
For this initiative, mentoring teams will examine the school ecosystem from the student’s vantage point to reimagine a more sustainable school, one that will improve now and continue to grow and thrive in the future. The project will connect students to a subject they know well, and one in which they are likely to have strong opinions. All projects will be featured on the Design Ignites Change and Designers Accord websites, and particularly noteworthy projects will be promoted to the press. Join Us! STEP - Welcome to STEP. Institute of Design | K-12 Lab. The d.school’s K-12 Lab team is abuzz with learnings from the recent DT2Schools Workshop. The workshop brought together teachers and administrators from 8 different schools, including two teachers from the Lab’s international partner Riverside School who came all the way from India. In addition to schools, representatives from Teach for America’s curriculum design team also attended. Teachers were immersed in design thinking with two cycles through our design process.
They then turned immediately to apply the design process to their own curriculum to take design thinking back to their schools. Projects that were seeded during the workshop included such diverse concepts as a Second Grade Fairy Tale unit, an Empathy Tea for New Teachers, and a Design a Backpack Activity for 5th Grade Parents. To learn more about the K-12 Lab and what they’ve learned in two years of prototypes in classrooms and informal learning programs, check out their newly launched website.
