How do we get
from this…
… to this?

We do it by thinking big. By thinking better.
By making. By doing.
Why shouldn’t we be asking our
students to do the same?
Making doesn’t have to look like
circuit boards and wires,
printers and filament.
But it could.
We can make with just about anything around us.
We can make everything around us.
We need imagination, creativity, and
innovation in the classroom.
But when we design with a reason,
with purpose, and starting with the
things that really bug us, we develop
the best solutions.
And we can get from this…
… to this.
This isn’t on any test.
But it should be.
