Have you rubbed elbows with a practicing artist lately? Would you like to know more about creating an ‘orchestra of innovation’ using the principles of design? Have you ever built a robot that makes its own art? Have you ever designed a toilet? Did you know that decoding rhythmic patterns from classical motifs can be expressed as fraction sequences? Are you curious about demystifying Makerspaces? Have you tinkered in 3-D? Wonder how comparison, juxtaposition, composition, art, design, sorting, grouping, categorizing, cognitive scientists, and nature specimens are connected? Have you experienced ‘curriculum in motion’? Have you REALLY developed an Essential Question? Do you practice “The Art of Questions?” Does your school culture support student choice, voice, opportunity and responsibility?
