Innovation Challenge #1 - Collaborate & Connect

Challenge Objective:

Learning is social. True collaboration skills exist through digital platforms as well as in-person. “Working together, students often develop better solutions, create new ideas, and think more critically about an issue or concept...Effective collaboration involves a host of social skills, including the ability to communicate ideas. Students need to see their role as part of the whole, contributing their own ideas while assimilating the ideas of others in order to expand their own knowledge and create a shared body of knowledge...”
