<p>In this unit, you will see how a variety of schools incorporate design thinking into the classrooms at different levels of intensity. Some teachers teach students one stage of the process, while other teachers frame entire units around design thinking.<strong> This assignment puts you in the role of an educator. You will identify an opportunity for students to learn about design thinking and plan a 15-30 minute<span style="color: #000000;"> learning activity.</span> Ideally, you will then implement your activity plan and reflect on how it went.</strong> Note that the Unit 2 assignment is not about helping students master the design thinking process; it’s about <span style="color: #000000;">1) getting into the designer mindset yourself and 2) e</span>xploring ways to bring design thinking the classroom.</p>

<p>Choose one of the following two options <span style="color: #000000;">for your learning activity:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong style="font-size: 1em;">Option 1: Rethink existing curriculum so students engage with content using one of the stages of the design thinking process.</strong><span style="font-size: 1em;"> This option is best-suited for those who work with students and have experience teaching particular curriculum. </span><span style="color: #333399;"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Example</span>:</strong></span><span style="color: #333399;"><strong> </strong></span>For this activity, I want my 7th grade science class to investigate food webs (meaning an interconnection of food chains) in an ecosystem through the lens of the Imagine stage.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong style="font-size: 1em;">Option 2: Create an activity that helps students practice a design skill that is independent of curriculum.</strong><span style="font-size: 1em;"> </span><span style="font-size: 1em; color: #800080;"><strong>Example:</strong></span><span style="font-size: 1em;"> My after-school robotics club students will explore the Discover stage. </span></li>
</ul>

<p><strong>The multiple steps of this assignment will walk you through the process of creating your learning activity. The steps will be interspersed with video content that will provide inspiration.</strong> Remember that you have choice and flexibility regarding how you approach Units 2 and 3. We encourage you to engage with the material in the way that is most useful for you.</p>
<ul>
<li>Step 1: Select Your Users & Implementation Scenario </li>
<li>Step 2: Understand Your Users (Discover)</li>
<li>Step 3: Identify Key Insights (Focus)</li>
<li>Step 4: Brainstorm Learning Activities & Select Promising Idea (Imagine)</li>
<li><strong>Step 5: Activity Plan and Peer Feedback (Prototype)</strong> - Submit your first deliverable here.</li>
<li>Step 6: Get User Feedback (Try)</li>
<li><strong>Step 7: Reflect (Reflect & Share)</strong> - You’ll submit your final deliverable here.</li>
</ul>
