Student Design Thinking and Equity Projects

Student Design Thinking and Equity Projects

The Equity Deconstructed STEAM research class was launched for the 2021-2022 school year by seven Monta Vista High School educators in Fremont Union High School District. Students chose their own research topic and created their project using the Stanford d School’s Design Thinking Process, which includes conducting empathy interviews with community members and peers.

Let’s get started

I fell into the KCI programs with MERIT. The program was recommended by a co-worker and at the time I was in major need of professional development, to keep me inspired and growing. Since the first class I knew that I wanted to be part of the KCI team. I have taken as many classes as I could. I have worked with KCI on Mini-Merit programs and I was introduced and presented at CUE conferences. I love the ease of all these programs. They are taught, not in a traditional collegiate way, but as a friend might share their passions. Each of the leaders are skilled presenters, communicators and teachers. The curricula are set up to be used in class immediately, without much prep (which teachers are in short supply of). Thank you KCI and your team.
