🔍 What’s your How Might We question? 🤔

In this stage of the Makerthon, our 9th and 10th-grade students shared the driving questions behind their projects, also known as their How Might We questions. These questions are essential tools in design thinking, helping students frame a challenge as an opportunity for innovation and impact. 💭🌾

By asking “How might we…?” they open the door to brainstorming creative, user-centered solutions while keeping their focus clear and actionable. 💡✨

Stay tuned as we continue to follow their journeys of problem-solving and purpose-driven design!

💡 Impact isn’t measured by size, but by meaning 👫💞

In this stage of the Makerthon, our students reflect on what it truly means to create solutions that make a real difference. For them, real impact means understanding the world around them, listening to community needs, and building with purpose. These young minds are learning that change starts with empathy and action. 🤸‍♀️🌾🚀
