What if the most important skill we can teach students isn’t what to think, but how to think? In this episode, we explore the dynamic world of the International Baccalaureate (IB) design cycle — a hands-on, inquiry-driven approach that challenges students to think critically, solve real-world problems, and unleash their creativity.

Through stages of inquiry, ideation, creation, and evaluation, IB design empowers students to take ownership of their learning, connect classroom concepts to real-life applications, and develop future-ready skills. Whether it's building prototypes, brainstorming solutions, or refining ideas through feedback, this episode highlights how design thinking transforms traditional learning into something truly impactful.

Get ready to be inspired by these educators who are shaping the problem-solvers of tomorrow!

Guests:
  • Kurt Carlson – Design Teacher, North Middle School
  • Julius Eromosele – Principal, North Middle School & 2023 Hennepin County Middle School Principal of the Year
  • Jeremy Reichel – Design Teacher & Instructional Coach, North Middle School
