Edison once said, “I have not failed 10,000 times—I've successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.”

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

To introduce "design abilities " to high school students

What does your innovation look like in practice?

We meet 1 or 2 times a week for 45 minutes and practice the 8 core design abilities via activities

How has it been spreading?

Students do a daily "WONDER WANDER" activity to practice the "design abilities". When other students stop them and ask them what they are doing they explain.
Take a look at the Instagram feed here where the students are documenting their progress:
