Last week, the Design Ecosystem lever group's most recent project got a soft launch at the Flynn Center's Engaging Active Learners conference. Jess Handrick, Flynn Center Education Director, Lindsey Halman, Essex Middle School Teacher, Emily Titterton, AOE Arts Content Specialist, and Ben Freeman, VTLFF Network Coordinator shared the basic framework for the Design Studio concept, the nature of the partnership, and some of the desired outcomes. Teachers, arts educators, and other education professionals listened, shared ideas, and helped lay further groundwork for the first open Studio, co-hosted at the Flynn Center this coming spring. Here is a link the the Google slideshow from the event with more details on the Design Studio concept!
