Design Thinking, Arts Integration, and 21st Century Skills
The SEED Creativity Incubator was designed to instill participants with concepts, tools, and skillsets that they can apply throughout their school, home life, and future careers.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

 |
Foundational workshops will give students an introduction to the design thinking process and instill core 21st century skills, focusing on collaboration, empathy, and ideation. |
 |
Discovery workshops are designed and led by guest educators from the community. These lessons offer students new perspectives and pathways, and give them the opportunity to apply their foundational skills on a variety of mediums and practices. |

The Design Thinking workshops are a culminating project-based experience that will challenge students to ideate and create a prototype design for a real person over the course of three Saturdays. |
