We'll investigate, design, create, and evaluate products in this prototyping workshop and discussion.","Description":"Participants will learn about the Design Cycle of the IB's Middle Years Program, a process that asks students to create solutions to meaningful issues, inside a looser definition of technology that could include computer-based technology, design technology, cooking, or anything that asks students to work within a cycle of investigating, designing, planning, creating, and evaluating. Though the cycle is specific to a certain curriculum, the ideas behind them are relevant to any curriculum and any subject area.","Link":[],"Audience":["High School","Middle School"],"Practice":"Participants will divide into groups to design solutions to assigned problems, and will get a remote how-to from students well-versed in designing and iterating.","Presenter":["Basil Kolani"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Dwight School"],"PresenterEmail":["basil@dwight.edu"],"ScheduleSlotID":8,"ScheduleLocationID":5,"SubmitterID":62,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":2}}
