Design Build + Innovate Lab (DBiLab)
The Design Build Innovate (DBi) program nurtures and develops purpose-driven, empowered, and resilient designers and builders who seek the perspectives and ideas of others to achieve informed and inclusive solutions and outcomes. We achieve this by creating environments where students embrace complexity with curiosity, empathy, and courageous risk-taking and where students are aware of the impacts of their design choices. Creatively and collaboratively applying design principles and processes to define and solve problems designers and builders are exposed to multiple modes and tools of design – both analog and digital.
DBi Program Goals
Innovative Designer: Students use a variety of tools within a design process to identify and solve problems by building new, useful or imaginative solutions.
Computational Thinker: Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
Resilient Builder: Students use a variety of tools to prototype design solutions and show resilience when confronted with setbacks and challenges.
Empowered Learner: Students are self-directed, resourceful, and confident in using materials, tools, and technology to take ownership of their learning journey and take creative risks.
Creative Communicator & Collaborator: Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals. Students enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams.
