Collaborative Design, Build & Deliver

The days of cookie cutter jobs and cookie cutter workers are rapidly ending. Automation and artificial intelligence will replace many jobs that exist today. The jobs that remain will require creativity, collaboration and flexibility – the so-called "21st-Century skills."

I propose to match teams of students with a client who will articulate a need. Together, the students and client will more clearly define that need and formulate a set of solution requirements.

Third-through-fifth grade Tech Team students will use design tools to synthesize and build a prototype bedroom for a handicapped person, based upon mapping requirements to functions and then functions to solution architecture/components.
