This workshop is tailored for educators seeking to elevate their teaching approach through empathy-driven design thinking.
Engage in a hands-on, immersive experience that will walk you through a series of “making” activities, modeling how to build empathy and enhance social emotional wellbeing with students while engaging in the design process.
The Learning Dimensions framework, a Making that Matters project guide, several design challenges, and novel engineering resources will be shared as ways to easily implement this approach in every K-8 classroom.
Lunch will be provided.
