Built on a strong foundation of core educational methodologies, we pair an inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach with a design thinking process to guide students to be solution seekers and problem solvers through work that has direct application to an actual challenge. Through our blended approach we explore non-linear thinking, we build on relationships with people near and far, we brainstorm and prototype, and we test and iterate alternative solutions based on feedback.
