AK12DC Track 2: Amazed to Realize

This year at AK12DC we are prototyping a model that includes more public schools in Track 1 and builds an advanced track (Track 2)  for schools ready to go deeper with design thinking. The schools in  Track 2 are Westminster Schools, The Lovett School, and Mountain Park Elementary.  Today, Track 2 teams are gathered together at Lovett to reflect on where they are, deepen their design thinking skills, and work on the portfolio of design challenges they've got underway. 

We have two 75 minute team-time sessions built into the day,a wonderful first hand account of how design can change lives, and a reflection on the work to date. Before we leave, teams will give one another feedback across schools and build their toolkit with more prototyping skills. Exciting day of learning and collaboration!
