Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

In the year 2020, as part of the National Minecraft Build Championship, my class of middle schoolers designed a Minecraft city that addressed each of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals going on to win the championship!
So how did I not only introduce students to each Global Goal, but also delved deep enough to develop an innovative solution during remote learning under lockdown?

Through this session, participants will learn how the multi-dimensional strategy of 6 Thinking Hats can be implemented within a classroom to simplify thinking to parallel/lateral thinking, thus maintaining focus on one element/perspective at a time thereby minimising conflict between group-members to promote collaboration & improve efficiency.

This universal strategy can be used both in teams & by individuals to think critically, brainstorm innovative solutions, & solve some of the world’s most complex problems addressed in the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
