It’s September, which means it’s time not only for pumpkin-spiced everything, but also … it’s International Strategic Thinking Month! Of course, here at The Tech Interactive, we recognize the importance of strategic thinking year-round, but we’re always down to celebrate brain power, so let’s dive into some of our favorite lessons!
We’ve found that students often do their best strategic thinking when tackling one of our Systems Design Challenges. These challenges present learners with a real-world problem, like delivering a vaccine to a remote area or determining the viability of a new green tech product in their local community. Their decisions have lots of ripple effects because they’re part of a complex system. Students examine all the intricate parts of that problem as they design potential solutions.
First, 🤩 check out our NEW Systems Design Challenges video series for educators to see these challenges in action. These four videos will guide you through the entire process and provide useful tips for implementation in any setting.
Then choose one of our systems design resources below and start incorporating them into your classroom:
1. Connecting with Climate
Explore how to problem-solve when approaching large-scale, multidimensional issues like climate change.
2. Emerging Tech
Examine environmental issues through the lens of four emerging technologies then consider the challenges these technologies might face if they were adopted in your own community. Working in teams, students will develop both a potential solution and a pitch to address possible challenges.
3. Data Challenge
Analyze how innovators like our Tech for Global Good laureates use data as a tool to solve problems and effect change. Students will then work in groups to create a plan for collecting and using data to address a problem in their own sphere of influence.
4. Vaccine Distribution Challenge
Consider the complexities of infrastructure, public health and sociocultural landscapes in designing a solution to distribute a life saving vaccine.
5. Save the Species Challenge
Develop a solution that assists governments in protecting species in designated areas.
6. And more!
Go to thetech.org/systems-design-lessons to find even more resources, including a series of videos and lessons inspired by our Tech for Global Good Program. Developed in partnership with Discovery Education, these resources include: AI Inclusiveness, Medical Supply Availability, Organizing Activism, and The World’s Water Problem.
By the end of a systems design challenge, students are able to articulate a potential solution, the real-world problem it addresses, and the effects their idea might have on other components of that larger system. Through the process, learners build the skills they need to tackle the world’s toughest problems.
Có lúc tôi dùng thử trên điện thoại và máy tính, 88m com vẫn hiển thị giao diện gọn và dễ quan sát, sau khi vào hệ thống các mục game bài, nổ hũ và bắn cá được bố trí rõ ràng giúp tôi dễ theo dõi hơn khi thao tác
This article does a great job highlighting the importance of strategic thinking in education and how students can develop problem-solving skills through real-world challenges. I liked how the lessons encourage teamwork, creativity, and critical analysis instead of traditional memorization methods. The examples related to climate change, vaccine distribution, and emerging technology make the learning process much more engaging and practical for students. Kora Live readers can definitely appreciate educational content that inspires innovation and prepares young people to think smarter about the future.
Khi tôi quan sát ở nhiều thời điểm khác nhau, hệ thống 88m com thể hiện bố cục giao diện khá mạch lạc giữa các nhóm trò chơi. Các khu vực được sắp xếp theo hướng dễ theo dõi giúp tôi không bị rối khi di chuyển qua lại giữa nhiều nội dung trong cùng một phiên sử dụng
Trong quá trình tôi sử dụng liên tục trên điện thoại, cm88 thể hiện giao diện thiên về tính trực quan thay vì dồn quá nhiều thông tin trên cùng màn hình. Tôi nhận thấy việc mở nổ hũ, bắn cá hoặc xổ số diễn ra khá nhẹ nên trải nghiệm tổng thể không bị rối mắt
