The 'Virus Investigators: A Design Thinking Challenge' provides students with an engaging mission to become health detectives. Using the Design Thinking Process, students will identify problems contributing to virus spread within their school or community, gather relevant research from reliable sources, and brainstorm creative solutions. The challenge encourages collaboration and critical thinking as students work through the five stages of the design process: identifying the problem, gathering research, brainstorming, evaluating options, and planning solutions. Students will document their findings, assess the feasibility of their ideas, and reflect on their learning experiences, allowing them to apply the design process to real-world health issues.
