Design Thinking for Diverse Learners STEAM INFUSED PROJECTS (Science | Technology | Engineering | Art | Mathematics) Dr. Mandi Sonnenberg F.I.R.E. Conference, February 24, 2016, Kansas City

Life is Challenging, that’s good! Because… Real-world learning and preparation. Getting comfortable with struggling and confident with moving past it. Enjoying LIFE! www.steam-studio.com

Stats on our special learners They are on the rise http://www.edweek.org/ew/section/multime dia/chart-us-special-education- enrollment.html

Why Design Thinking? Because it is CREATIVE! Learner’s can express their knowledge in different ways and produce individually diverse outcomes. Why creativity is important: https://tscpl.org/art/why-is-creativity-important-in-everyday-life “Human beings are essentially born creative–from infancy on we find innovative ways to negotiate life. The most creative people find ways around obstacles because they see them not just as roadblocks but also as opportunities.” Who are the most creative humans we know? Kids with special needs, because they have to be and it’s who they are.

What is it?
