This challenge is open to all K-16 educators and their students. Please do adjust the flow as you see fit based
on subject, grade level, available time, and student's learning needs.
Highlights of your students’ design learning challenge final projects will be gladly posted on the project website:

Step 4 - Demonstrate | Overview The following is comprehensive approach designed to provide students alternative means to showing evidence of what they have learned. It is likely that these activities will take more than one 50-minute class period. Please feel free to adjust activities based on what works best for you, your students, as well as their learning needs. Guide students as they decide which Form of Design Solution they will use – based on the context of your classroom (subject area, curriculum content, performance standards, areas of interest, etc.), targeted problem statements, and critical questions. Forms of Design Solution options include:
Invite your students to use their creative problem solving skills to make sense of what they have learned from engaging in Steps 1, 2, and 3. Encourage them to put their understandings of “mindset“ dispositions to work as they take
license to unpack decisions that challenged their person of historical
importance. Students are free to re-write history, adjust their person’s path as they navigated a dilemma, challenge, or adversity. The goal is for teams to become aware of their selected person's mindset dispositions (as well as their own), successfully collaborate with one another when faced with adversity, and know when they are making good choices. As purposeful makers, students will aim to propose creative, innovative, and sustainable design solutions that are relevant as well as doable using accessible resources. 5 minutes In a guided discussion, students make sense of Formative Assessment Findings. 8 minutes Teams identify Design Solution Indicators of Success and Finalize Plan of Action: Note: Teams are the primary authors of the Design Solution Indicators of Success. Identifying these criteria not only help students to clarify the issues at hand alongside their design decisions - but also causes them to take responsibility for the quality of outcome of their project.
10 minutes Teams Iterate Top 3 Design Ideas, Generate Visualizations, and Create Rough Prototypes:
17 minutes Develop Final Design Solution and Check Decisions Against Indicators:
10 minutes Prepare and Present Final Design Solution:
