When Design Thinking Meets NORY Summer Camp

April 9, 2018 by Denise Courter

 

nory.co/summer
PARTNER

 

At NORY Summer Camp, we will introduce and infuse the design thinking process. The design thinking process empowers children to think like problem solvers, helping prepare students for real-world challenges. Our project-based program helps children nurture an improvement in higher-order thinking skills, such as critical thinking and creativity, in an open and encouraging environment.

Throughout the summer, children will be presented with a series of problems, brainstorm, and ideate on their ideas, and explore fundamental prototyping concepts. We will guide children throughout the process, while at the same time allowing them the freedom to work collaboratively and the encouragement to share their ideas.

At the end of each week, children will take an idea from concept to execution and learn that there are multiple ways to approach the same problem. Children especially work to develop the skills of empathy, problem-solving, presentation, and prototype designing. Continuous work and exposure to Design Thinking allow for the refinement of these critical soft skills.

In an ever-changing and fast-paced world where we become more globally connected each day, it will be a necessity for the coming generation to be proficient in these generative, collaborative, and empathic skills.

Design Thinking, Woodworking, Coding, AI, Robotics, Chemistry & Physics Experiments, Group Engineering Challenges, Creative Building, and more!

June 25 – August 31
Half-day, early drop off & extended day available
Organic daily lunch included

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
