4th Graders Prototype Super Powers in the Beard Center

Jess Killo, Lower School art teacher has been an early adopter of both design thinking and maker space education, incorporating the work into the traditional practice of studio art.  This year, her 4th grade students began their Super Power project with a design thinking exercise, following that with a hand rendered prototyping project before utilizing iPads and digital technologies to render in CAD (computer assisted design) to print on our new MakerBots (3D printers) in the Beard Center for Innovation.
