This is how 21st century work/learning environment would look like! Back to working as designers. Design Thinking Step 3: Ideate. The heroes started with brainstorming and eventually took the ideas into one
The team started the day facing a simulated scenario of a school closure. They all voted that they rather continue run the school, ideally one which is learner-driven. As guides, we ask what sort of standards they want to uphold to as they made such choices. Last week, the heroes were still in cliques during meal times.
We started today with cafe hopping!
