Week 3

On Feb.11, we went on a field trip and visited the Learning Community Charter School in New Jersey. I was excited about working with middle school students in the class, they are super smart and creative. We started with the “I wonder” questions, which they did for homework, then we narrowed them down to frame “how might we”questions. I also enjoyed the process of building quick prototypes with them, they surprised me with their talented ideas. They are so young and full of energy, I got many inspirations through their unique perspective. However, it was a bit hard for them to frame “HMW” questions at the beginning since they were not familiar with these design terms; they started brainstorming and throwing questions to each other, which is another excellent approach to frame questions.
