today's students exist in an "innovation economy." They need to become not only problem solvers, but also problem seekers -- those who can look for solutions in contexts where one never previously existed. -- Tony Wagner, author of Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change The World

How might we WHAT for WHOM in order to CHANGE something?
- standards - tasks, accomplishments, grading - formative, summative
- individual / small group
- problem / solution - proposal, product / deliverable - Why is this project worthwhile? What do you expect to learn from this project? What PRODUCT will you have to show at the end of the year? [1]
- document process, progress - what happened over the past cycle, what they learned, what challenges they faced, and what they anticipate in the future.
- technology - learn about, demonstrate / present
- ? weeks -
- pbl design thinking, learning journal
- assessment - rubrics - Productivity (Are you spending your 20% time by actively and passionately working on your project? If not, we need to quickly adjust the project so you are working on something that is intrinsically motivating.

design thinking * empathize - understand the problem * define - define need, reframe problem * brainstorm / ideate - come up with possible solutions even what you'd consider wild ideas * prototype - pick a couple of ideas and fashion them into possible solutions * test the prototypes by showing and talking about them * get feedback and do it over again
Problem Based Learning - project / individual interest - curiosity, passion, make a difference

Process
- We Can Project * First, this is supposed to be fun. REALLY fun. So go for it. Be as creative as you want. * Second, this is not "school." There are no wrong answers. As long as you are doing something you are excited about, you're doing it right! * Third, you do not have to do everything yourself. * video (4:11) * song
- 3 ?? Create Share
- Engineering Design Process * Ask * Imagine * Plan * Create * Improve
- Buck BIE - seven PBL design elements * Challenging Problem or Question
