The team’s innovative teaching idea, “The IDEA Lab,” is focused on providing a space for students to create new mobile apps by using computer programming and applying innovative and “out of the box” thinking.  Through the IDEA Lab, which stands for Inspiring Designers, Entrepreneurs and Architects, students will have the resources to research, explore, design, build, and test each other’s personalized apps, by learning and implementing coding techniques. In addition to designing apps, students will also learn to program robots and drones through lessons shared by robotics engineers and experts. This team hopes their program will prepare their students to create better solutions, while working within guidelines and deadlines, and through using the process of design thinking and learning that will ultimately prepare them for their professional futures.
