 You know that all children are natural makers. But how do we unleash this creativity in a system where you don't have enough technology and you lack time and you have a rigid curriculum map tied to high stakes testing? Well, here are two ideas. The first is called a maker project. The second is called a design challenge. Both projects allow students to experiment and create and collaborate. However, each project is slightly different. Maker projects are short-term projects while design challenges are long-term. Maker projects focus on rapid prototyping while design challenges involve the entire design thinking cycle. Maker projects focus on an audience of one while design challenges have a specific and often larger audience in mind. Now here's the beauty of it. These two ideas don't require a ton of technology and they can work just fine within the standards you're already teaching. Ultimately, they won't require any extra time. All they require is a little bit of imagination and a willingness to try something new. If you enjoyed this video, go ahead and like it and leave a comment in the comment section below.
