Critical and creative thinking means that we need to learn how to develop plans, execute them, and make changes to improve our ideas along the way. We are doing this in a few different ways: some of us are building, and some of us are focusing more on artistic creativity. The idea is that everyone will explore new ways of creating throughout the year. We have several materials at our disposal during this time; some are recycled and some are new. Soon, we will be introducing technology into the mix so we can explore tools like Makey Makey and Squishy Circuits. Our time in Creation Lab also helps us to develop our communication and collaboration competencies, as we are working with others, sharing ideas, and learning to articulate our thinking in accurate and meaningful ways. Below are some of our creations in progress. Enjoy!
