Sophomore Year
Interdisciplinary Projects (NOTE: Projects differ from year-to-year.)
|
The San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum is a valued partner at Del Lago. Our sophomores will apply theirdeeper understanding of how elements, stars, and planets were formed in order to design traveling museum exhibits for the elementary and middle school students in our region. Scholars will work with the museum as their client to create a powerful teaching exhibit that meets the museum’s budget, timeline, and learning criteria. The spring BioDesign project asks scholars to design solutions to help feed, heal, and fuel our world, and at the same time to restore and protect the environment. The Stanford School Design Thinking model serves as the thinking framework for scholars. The importance of iteration and problem-solving are the backbone of the project, and industry experts serve an important role in providing scholars with critical friend feedback on their design project throughout the process.
A Del Lago Design Expo serves as the Presentation of Learning for the sophomore year. Scholars hone their “pitch” to potential funders. The Expo is attended by families, community, and industry professionals. |
