Solving Community Problems - India & USA

¿De qué trata este proyecto?

For this level of the collaboration, students *exchanged* problems that they noticed in their local communities. We gave students an opportunity to ask questions and get clarification to understand and empathize. Over the next couple weeks, students completed the phases of the Design Thinking process within their own classrooms in order to come up with a solution to propose to their international partner class. Students empathized, identified a problem statement, ideated, and developed a final solution and prototype. Lastly, the groups met on Zoom one more time to share their ideas and prototypes with each other in the hopes of offering solutions to each other's community problems. Through these efforts, students were able to build partnership and work on their communication and collaboration skills in order to solve problems. Problem USA students presented: Students at our school struggle with learning skills and rules for their sports because the practices are so short. Problem INDIA students presented: Our region experiences high levels of trash pollution.
