On this episode of the ImPactful Sandbox, listen to team members Heather, Alex, Johannes, Joseph, and Tiago engaging in an incredible conversation on "Life On Land" with Alisha Fritts of the World Wildlife Fund. (Special thanks to the Fleet Science Center for arranging for Alisha to join the students).
The ImPactful Teen Innovation Sandbox program teaches students how to solve big challenges using a design thinking process in four phases: Understand, Ideate, Prototype and Pitch their solutions. The podcast provides an additional opportunity for the students to amplify their communication skills by learning from local leaders with domain expertise on a variety of global and local challenges. This group of students choose to explore how to tackle the challenge of "Life On Land." Team CAP 6 targeted their creative flow towards an information app for animal conservation, animal extinctions, and behaviors which lead toward a more sustainable ecosystem.
The Impactful Sandbox is a program developed by the Jacobs Institute for Innovation in Education at the University of San Diego, Pactful, the social good app, Cloudcast Media and its SchoolCAST program. Funding for the Jacobs Institute has been generously provided by Dr. Irwin and Joan Jacobs. Funding and support for Season 5 of the Impactful Sandbox was provided by the San Diego Foundation through their Level Up program.
