| Additional detail: | Student presentation |
The purpose of our presentation is for participants to see the implementation of the design thinking process in various problem-based learning projects. Participants will also see the use of innovative technology tools in order to present various perspectives on a specific topic.
In order to complete these projects, students move through the steps of the Design Thinking process (Empathy, Defining a Problem, Ideation, Prototyping, and Testing of Products). Through this process students prototype, test, and implement a variety of designs that utilized technology that included virtual reality, audio/visual immersion, presentation tools, 3D scanning, and green screen technology. Specific tech tools used included CoSpaces and Firestorm (both virtual reality platforms), Mixamo, DoInk green screen application, and ThingLink. Presenters will be able to show the examples of virtual reality platforms that were used to create Treasure Hunt and Escape room challenges.
This would be our 5th presentation in a row at ISTE. Each time, we add new tools and new innovative experiences. Even during the past summer, we had online enrichment classes that were well attended. When students returned to school this fall, they were very excited to get engaged in our world of creation again. All serve as evidence of our projects' success.
