It's been a while but with the craziness of exams things have been out of whack around these parts. Tomorrow we are having a hiring fair for all the students who were either fired from their groups or who decided to walk away.
Either way, there's an opportunity for you to get rehired! Tomorrow from 9-10:15 we'll be having group interviews. If you're a free agent who didn't get an interview scheduled let me know, but if you did best of luck in your interviews tomorrow!
We watched the awesome short documentary from PBS entitled "Extreme by Design". The film covered Stanford's d.school and one of their classes that focuses on extreme design to create affordable, realistic solutions to problems in the world. There have been some amazing start-ups (get more on that term here!) that have come from this class and our students are doing work very similar to that done at Stanford. It was great to hear a common language between us and know that our students are capable of doing work that can make a change!
After watching the video, students began their Idea Wave brainstorm to look at two different things. The first was what are some possible things we can create to alleviate some of the problems people have that struggle with that group's human right. The second was what are some possible educational tools we can create to better inform our peers about what those human rights issues are. Students presented and got feedback on their first draft of the idea wave and will continue those revisions tomorrow. We're hoping to finish feedback, too.
All in all it's been a good week gang. Glad to see you all back together.
P.S. Go follow @WHS_StudioD on Twitter. I'm feeling lonely.
