What do we want to achieve regarding primary skill development (student understanding and/or behaviour)?

As a result of this activity, students will: 

  • Develop problem-solving abilities: students learn to break down complex situations and think in steps.
  • Encourage creative thinking: generating new, diverse ideas without fear of being wrong.
  • Strengthen critical thinking: evaluating ideas, asking meaningful questions, and refining solutions.
  • Improve collaboration: students work in teams, listen to others, and share their own ideas.
  • Foster empathy: understanding the needs, feelings, and perspectives of others.
  • Build self-confidence: by seeing that their ideas matter and have value.
  • Learn to take initiative and show ownership of their work.
  • Embrace iteration: understanding that trying, failing, and improving is part of the process.
  • Show perseverance: staying motivated even when things are challenging.
  • Practice reflection: thinking about what worked, what didn’t, and how to improve.
