A Better Way to Talk about Love
A Better Way to Talk about Love
Rating

In love, we fall. We're struck, we're crushed, we swoon. We burn with passion. Love makes us crazy and makes us sick. Our hearts ache, and then they break. Talking about love in this way fundamentally shapes how we experience it, says writer Mandy Len Catron. In this talk for anyone who's ever felt crazy in love, Catron highlights a different metaphor for love that may help us find more joy and less suffering in it.

Chernobyl Empathy

Student groups are given captioned photographs of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant facility and surrounding towns taken before and 28 years after the 1986 disaster. Based on the captions and clues in the images, they arrange them in sequential order. While viewing the completed sequence of images, students reflect on what it might have been like to be there, and ask themselves: what were people thinking, doing and saying at each point? This activity assists students in gaining an understanding of how devastating nuclear meltdowns can be, which underscores the importance of responsible engineering. It is recommended that this activity be conducted before the associated lesson, Nuclear Energy through a Virtual Field Trip.

When we put ourselves in another person’s shoes, we are often more sensitive to what that person is experiencing and are less likely to tease or bully them. By explicitly teaching students to be more conscious of other people’s feelings, we can create a more accepting and respectful school community.

Redesigning a Classroom for the Visually Impaired
Rating

Students practice human-centered design by imagining, designing and prototyping a product to improve classroom accessibility for the visually impaired. To begin, they wear low-vision simulation goggles (or blindfolds) and walk with canes to navigate through a classroom in order to experience what it feels like to be visually impaired. Student teams follow the steps of the engineering design process to formulate their ideas, draw them by hand and using free, online Tinkercad software, and then 3D-print (or construct with foam core board and hot glue) a 1:20-scale model of the classroom that includes the product idea and selected furniture items. Teams use a morphological chart and an evaluation matrix to quantitatively compare and evaluate possible design solutions, narrowing their ideas into one final solution to pursue. To conclude, teams make posters that summarize their projects.

Teach Design: How to Interview Kids
Rating

Interviewing kids is different than interviewing adults. It might take longer for them to warm-up to sharing with you, and when they do start talking, it can be hard to direct the conversation in a linear way, as is the norm with adults. Further, kids have trouble thinking abstractly, so the questions you ask will need to be more straightforward and tangible.

Teach Design: Portkey
Rating

Portkey is a storytelling activity that gets participants to share personal anecdotes from their life. This game serves many purposes, but perhaps its strongest asset is that it connects participants to one another. It is also great to use when teaching empathy in the design research phase. Portkey is an activity that gets learners into an empathetic, story-based mindset. It illustrates how even the simplest of stories can reveal someone's authentic self.

Teach Design: Story Spine
Rating

The story spine is a simple formula for structuring a story. Almost every movie, book, or play you see will follow the story spine in some capacity. Pixar uses and teaches the Story Spine method, as do Disney and Lucas Films. It is the basic framework for a well-constructed story. In design thinking, stories are utilized to communicate complex ideas in a compelling way. Practicing storytelling is a vital design skill.
