Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
We are going to tap into creativity and learn about our own mental maps. All brains are unique and wonderful and knowing how ours visualize the world is a skill that we can take with us forever. 

No drawing experience is needed but Sketchnoting Levels 1 and 2 are encouraged. (NOT REQUIRED!) 

Class opens with Doodle Warm Up.
From there, learners generate their own ideas about problem-solution scenarios that might require a series of steps or procedures. 
Discussion is encouraged as we ponder potential ideas and complexities. How do we solve these? What if we could create a magical machine? What if we had super powers? Maybe there are some real-world solutions we could use! . 
Learners are guided through a series of doodle challenges relating to their chosen concept while hashing out ideas with classmates. 
After class, learners will walk away with personalized mind maps that they can use to track thinking patterns, visualizations, and inspirations. 

*This class can be taken as many times as you like because the content is learner led, meaning the kids generate the ideas and let their imaginations and discussions guide our time together!
Learning Goals
Students will learn to use visual thinking to solve problems (and more importantly) recognize their own conceptualization.
