We spent the past several days reading and discussing, Where the Wild Things Are. Thursday we began our first design thinking challenge. The children were posed with the challenge of designing a boat to fit the needs of the Wild Things so they can sail to Max. We learned the 6 steps of design thinking and the children were incredibly engaged and enthusiastic.
Stage 1: Empathy- what do we know about the wild things?
Stage 2: Define-what will the wild things need on their boat?
Stage 3: Ideate- design 4 different ideas of a boat
Stage 4: Feedback- meet with a partner and share your ideas. Your partner will let you know what might work, what can be added, and what might need improved.
Stage 5: Iterate- complete one final design.
Stage 6: Prototype- let's build a model of our design!!!
We shared our boats and our favorite stage of the process in the end!
