Open-ended design challenges are a great way to spark creativity and practice problem solving skills with students. Kids literature contains a limitless supply of imagination provoking worlds and situations that kids can explore and expand on while feeling safe to question what is possible and really get creative.

Then participants will dive into the story of Little Red Riding Hood and get creative as they roll up their sleeves and work together to design and prototype alternate solutions to one of the story’s problems.
