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!
Congratulations to all of the National Art Honor Society, International Thespian Society, and Tri-M Music Honor Society inductees! Great job!
