Learning Goals
Students will be able to investigate school design impacts on wellness, safety, sustainability, AI use, and community connection using stakeholder interviews and local examples to define user needs.
Students will be able to synthesize stakeholder interview evidence into a clear problem statement for a future-ready school that distinguishes needs from solutions.
Students will be able to define criteria and constraints for a School of 2035 design based on wellness, safety, sustainability, AI integration, and community access.
Students will be able to ideate multiple school design solutions and select the most promising concept by comparing trade-offs against criteria and constraints.
Students will be able to prototype annotated floor plans, scaled models, or digital 3D renderings that make a School of 2035 concept testable.
Students will be able to test a School of 2035 prototype with peers and an authentic reviewer and use feedback to refine design decisions.
Students will be able to justify a final School of 2035 proposal with scientific evidence about environmental impact and clear reasoning about design trade-offs.
Products
Student Research File and Annotated Prototype for the School of 2035
Each student will submit a user-research file with interview notes, a problem statement, and a design brief, plus one annotated prototype that shows how feedback and evidence shaped the idea. This product proves individual mastery of user needs, criteria/constraints, and evidence-based prototyping.
School of 2035 Design Proposal, Model, and Public Pitch
Teams will present a shared problem statement, a collaboratively refined higher-fidelity model or digital rendering, and a public pitch for stakeholders. The proposal must show how individual research informed the final design and how the team’s solution addresses wellness, sustainability, safety, AI integration, and community access.
