Our program will engage students to explore relevant community obstacles and U.N. Global Goals using design thinking to create solutions for our world’s greatest challenges. RAFT’s hands-on STEAM kits, design challenges, and curriculum lay the foundational work for students to rapid-prototype, explore scientific concepts, collect data, and build creatively using environmentally sustainable materials. Students will work in whole and small groups to encourage fun and innovative collaboration. As part of our design thinking and creative reuse model, we engineer social-emotional learning opportunities for all students in an equitable and safe space. Students will work toward a final project and present with a team.
