Innovation Diploma

We’re a collection of the insatiably curious, profoundly optimistic, and deeply empathetic. We are biased toward action. We do impactful work @TheMVSchool.

Please join us on December 17th from 5:30-8PM for our 4th annual “Future Of” exhibition at The Mount Vernon School in 3 North. Design Brief students are excited to share immersive experiences designed to imagine the Future of Entertainment. Come step into our time machine!

This mod, our @TheMViD design brief students are diving into the future of entertainment! One group visited @reachrecords today to learn all about music production and the role social media plays in the industry. The trip was student led, facilitated, and a big success! #ibl

We trust 16 - 18 yr olds to wrestle with ambiguous complex work w/ little oversight because of the training/relationships/expectations poured in since G9. They respond because they know the stakes & care deeply. I sat in awe w @Google execs as this team exceeded all expectations.

💼💡 @themvid students are stepping into boardrooms across Atlanta to present final solutions to real-world challenges. A huge thank you to our partners @UPS for treating our students as equals and giving them the opportunity to tackle authentic work, catalyzing their growth. 🙌

Mount Vernon 🤝🏻 UPS

These students rocked their design brief presentation at the UPS World Headquarters! Love to see these worlds collide & my colleagues were INSANELY impressed by the work done at @TheMVSchool

G9 King Cohort took what they’ve been learning about Experience Design to create 5 minute relaxing, immersive experiences for the upperclassmen on our iD Leadership Team! iDLT members enjoyed snacks, songs, vibes, etc from the first deployed G9 project. #PBL #experiencedesign

@klundstromatmv Come chat with our sophomore Jørgen Cohort! They’d love to tell you all about their work!

Walking through a learning studio, I 👀 on the wall - am curious 🤔 am inspired 🤩 am interested 🤓 to know more … #teamcharters set the container for collaboration & provide concrete guardrails to facilitate meaningful conversations along the way … #INTENTIONAL @TheMViD

@TheMViD G9 King Cohort is crushing some QFTs on a Friday. They’re in the early stages of experience design for upperclassmen in the iD Leadership Team and getting laps of our Design Brief Framework, signature tools, and establishing cohort culture. Can’t beat that! #PBL

Loved hosting @TheMViD 9th graders last week for observation and need finding on The Frontier as part of our latest design brief #themvschool @KristaFancher

[Krista Fancher @KristaFancher]

Today grade 10 @TheMViD students took a ”Journey Through Justice” at the Georgia Bar Association. Setting the table for their work in Language, Proof, & Logic with @khuitt3 who started planning this day last spring! @TheMVSchool

[Krista Fancher @KristaFancher]

Students launched 5 Design Briefs with 5 initial client meetings in the first 4 days of school. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…@TheMViD (scroll for more).

[Krista Fancher @KristaFancher]

Grade 10 iD students will head to the State Bar Association this week during their study of Language, Proof, and Logic. Meanwhile in biomimicry they are learning how to leverage nature’s designs to solve problems. #mocktrial #biomimicrydesignchallenge

[Krista Fancher @KristaFancher]

On Friday @Google hosted their @TheMVSchool student-led Design Brief team. After the tour, they got down to business. We can’t wait to see what these @TheMViD students create. Thank you Heather Barkley and team. We ❤️ our partners! #impactready #designthinking #authenticlearning

[Krista Fancher @KristaFancher]

On the 4th day of school the design pros from Resource Branding taught our @TheMViD grade 9s about designing for a client in a 2 hr sprint! Thank you @JaeRobb26586505 and the Resource team for an engaging morning.

[Krista Fancher @KristaFancher]

On the 3rd day of school @TheMVSchool , this Design Brief toured Chick-fil-A HQ and saw human-centered design in action at The Hatch. Excursions like this give legitimacy to the two years of preparation students have done to be ready to lead real work. @TheMViD #impactready

[Emily Wilcox @emilynwilcox]

At the beginning of the school year, I’m always struck with what a privilege, honor, & joy it is to teach. From our brand new freshies to our beloved seniors & everyone in between, I’m SO grateful for our students! What a great first week back doing what I love with @TheMViD! 💖

[Emily Wilcox @emilynwilcox]

@TheMViD G9 Maker, Art, + Design played the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse today, created by artist André Breton to encourage collaboration, imagination, and laughter. Such a perfect and fun way to kick off this foundational course! #creativeclassroom

[Emily Wilcox @emilynwilcox]

Talk about #GloballyEngaged: @TheMViD students hopped on a call with @Mentimeter’s Kenan Olvovcic in Stockholm, Sweden (@klundstromatmv 👀) about designing fun, outside the box logos to celebrate 10 years of Menti! We’re ending the school year with a bang💥#realworldwork #pbl
