I've been facilitating this workshop w/ learners, educators, non-profits, etc for years. Re-aligned to my 5E design phases and figured I'd share. How might we bring authentic joy using four paper clips and a pair of index cards? #designthinking #edusky #k12edu docs.google.com/presentation...

Illustration of a cartoon yeti with blue fur, white eyes, and sharp teeth, giving a thumbs-up gesture. The yeti has a playful and friendly appearance with exaggerated features, including large hands and a tuft of hair on its head. The image is displayed in Adobe Illustrator 2025.
