Systems Design Challenges present learners with a real-world problem that is part of a complex system. Whether they are delivering a vaccine to a remote area or determining the viability of a new green tech product in their local community, students experience how their decisions have ripple effects.
They then examine all the intricate parts of that problem as they design potential solutions that will impact disparate communities in unique ways. This focus on the process builds students’ problem-solving capacity and self-confidence, preparing them for careers of the future and empowering them to create change in the world.
