How can students find answers to their questions?

Questioning: Students are just starting out, so now is the time for them to ask questions. Anything is possible. They should ask creative questions and deep questions. Imagine, wonder, dream, brainstorm, hope.

Planning: Next, students choose one question and plan how they will search for answers. They will decide what they want to do, what their goals are, how much time they have, and what resources they have. They plot their course.

Researching: Then students do research, gathering information and resources. Research involves working with media, technology, information, and people until students have what they need.

Creating: Students use their research and plan to make something new and amazing. They write, draw, build, design, sculpt, arrange. This part of the process might be messy. Let it be.

Improving: After creating something, students need to take a close look at it. Does it meet the goals? Does it do what they need it to do? What works well? What could work better? How could they improve what they created?

Presenting: Once the work is ready, students present it to an audience or put it to work in the real world.
