The main objective of this session is to model for teachers a creative and hands-on approach to building critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Each participant will finish the session having completed some sort of solution to bring back and share with their colleagues.
Participants will engage in a hands-on 55 minute activity focused on identifying a problem in their school or classroom and then work individually or in a team to develop an app prototype that addresses their problem and attempts to provide new value through their solution. Session will focus on peer-to-peer collaboration, and a friendly competition at the end of the session.
