During the 2013-2014 school year, I advised the student council, which is an unelected group, made up of students from grades 3-5. We met in my classroom every Wednesday, during lunch, as I attempted to facilitate an open conversation among any interested upper-grades students about problems they identify at our school. I tried to help students approach problems systematically through the design thinking process outlined in the Bootcamp Bootleg and Design Thinking for Educators. We cycled through a modified version of the framework (emphasize, define, ideate, prototype, and test), using Google Drive tools.
