Let’s solve a problem with design thinking!
Want to have your students solve a problem and build a solution remotely? Learn how I used the software design cycle / engineering cycle / design thinking to have my students collaboratively identify user needs, concept test, build prototypes, make decisions, plan a final solution, create a solution, and test their solutions remotely. My students ended up creating a wellness app to support their peers during the challenges of the pandemic, but this process could be used to solve many problems. My students were very engaged to see their ideas turn into a working solution that was shared with the school community. The technologies I used were Google Jamboard, Google slides, Glide Apps, and Brightspace but this project could be altered to use a variety of technologies. .
