In this session, participants explore the design process through a Mini Hack-a-thon project, the Halloween/Bike Safety Badge, examining how the steps Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test and Improve, and Share Out support intentional project development. Participants will walk through how this project evolved through multiple iterations and see how breaking the process into clear, deliberate steps helps students better understand design thinking and articulate their ideas. The session highlights practical classroom tools, including Google Slides, Sites, and Forms, along with Tinkercad and Canva, while demonstrating how the design process can be applied to a wide range of project-based learning experiences.
