This Innovations class was started by instructor Don Wettrick because he felt the need to combine project based learning (or passion based learning) with 21st century skills. Built on the “Three Cs” (critical thinking, collaboration, and communication), the Innovations class strives to seek out projects that are important to our school/ town/ state/ world. This class has four requirements:
- Research a topic/ concept/ issue that would impact your community.
- Collaborate with experts outside of your school.
- Carry out the project with a passion!
- Blog/ share your results with the world.
