This past Thursday, Mr.DeBlasio’s High School Honors Design Thinking class visited the American Dream Mall for their final presentation. The class took a challenge from the CEO in November and worked on different solutions using the Design Thinking methodology over 7 months. The students broke off into 5 groups, each focusing on a different part of the mall, trying to figure out how to bring in the most customers. The presentation was a success as the students wait to hear which group’s idea they liked the best. Amazing experience for our students!
