Nothing is a mistake. There is not win and no fail. There's only MAKE. ​

The Design Thinking Process

The Design Thinking Process

It's not linear. It ebbs and flows, there is progress and setback, but with trail and error a goal is reached. Even if it is not the initially planned goal.​

Stacks of whiteboards

Stacks of whiteboards

There can never be too many post-it notes and white boards when you are brainstorming and mapping out ideas. These boards are light and portable. They include notches to by hung both vertically and horizontally.
Always in easy access.​

More white boards.

Another look at the mobile white board systems. There are tracks along the ceiling to anchor the poles in which to hang stacks of white boards.​

Prototyping tools and rules

Prototyping tools and rules

1. Be safe.​

2. Do NOT take tools from this room.​

3. Talk to your Teaching Team or d.school staff for help and additional resources.​

Everything organized with a graphically labelled home.​

These signs were in every multi-use space. There were comfortable chairs for deep though, uncomfortable chairs to encourage movement, tables of various heights, projectors, and wall space for note taking. Everything gets reset and ready to use for the next group.​
