6th Grade Design-Thinking Challenge

Last year Mr. Cobb and Mrs. Pointer shared a challenge with the sixth grade to consider real world problems and then iterate solutions. The project took on a life of its own as students began to passionately empathize and problem-solve. The project received much attention, including local media, and resulted in our amazing Early Learning ASES Tiny Town playground.

This year the Class of 2024 has taken on the “ASES 6th Grade Design Challenge” in some really exciting ways. They’ve worked throughout the year to empathize, problem-solve, plan and create 3D models of their ideas for a redesign of the greenspace behind the Student Center.

The students met with Mr. Cobb to experience the process of cost analysis. They estimated the cost of each of the seven design drivers and then asked a construction site specialist to determine the actual cost. After they calculated the total cost of all the materials and labor, they created project priorities.

The legacy they’re leaving behind will impact and benefit the All Saints family for many years to come!

THE GREEN SPACE will be complete in August, we can't wait to see the final design implemented on campus!
