Grades 7-8     

Semester Course

Innovation 2 is part 2 of 3 in the Innovation series. It is a project-based course building upon the skills learned in Innovation 1:  creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving and innovation. Students take on a more independent role in this course building leadership and soft skills while providing commercials and footage for Teague Network News, the school’s in-house News Station. The course is divided into 3 parts. The first part is adding additional layers of creativity like lateral thinking and collaboration. The second part is learning and becoming proficient in technical skills such as video creation, 3-D modeling and printing. The third part consolidates the skills from Part 1 and 2 to create products that will address the United Nation Global Goals: Infrastructure & Innovation, Health & Wellness, Sustainable Cities and Renewable Energy. A few project highlights include learning more about self and multiple intelligence, building a city including bridges, roads, buildings, farms, etc. and budgeting.
