    Design Thinking Workshop No.4 - dishwasher

    The task of uor 4th workshap was to make a dishwasher. This time we did the first part at home as homework (interview with the housemates and making the first prototype). At school, we put the emphasis on prototype testing. Improving the initial design and making 3D prototypes from cardboard and styrofoam. We had a great time.

    Testing prototypes:

    Brain Gym Chorepgraphy response No. 1

    Our students responded to the challenge sent to them by the colleagues of the Cetenli Secundary School in Hatay, Turkey. We had a great time and warmed up for the rest of our working day. This is our Brain Gym Choreography response:

     

    Design Thinking Workshop No.1 - pencil case

    Our 5th graders started a series of design thinking workshops. In the first one, they made pencil cases for their classmates. Some of them with more, others with a little less success, but they all had a great time. This is our working atmosphere and the best prototypes.

     

     

    Brain-Puzzles

    We try to train our brains with creative and logical tasks as often as possible.

    To solve interesting riddless shaped into short videos, we use the TED-Ed platform. These are some of the examples we have tried:
