Center for Leadership and Innovation (CLI)

Schools should be among the most innovative places on earth. Our mission is to activate curiosity, and give space for all learners to try, fail, and succeed.

A year ago we backed @ItsChompShop on kickstarter for the #chompsaw. We got it last week! So surprised to see them on @ABCSharkTank tonight and delighted they got a deal. Hope we get our second order soon. Lots of makers, ready to make!

What do you think about the concept of a “walled garden” approach to AI? What might be the positives and negatives of 'Stretch,' a New Chatbot Just for Schools https://t.co/CR76hb4pP9

Our school counselor reached out and wanted 4th Graders to design board games targeting 2nd Grade students, where they could practice SEL skills. The process was incredible and the results evident!

Our Center lights up when these students start working together. Great collaboration with 1st Grade teachers & CLI coordinators to refresh unit that is a STS tradition.

UN Summit Debates! 8th Grade students masterfully participated in an unmoderated caucus and voted to create UN resolutions.

8th Grade interviews a panel of teachers during the empathy phase of design thinking. Challenge - design a solution for teachers who need workspace when they can't be in a classroom

On 2/28/2022, we welcomed Ts into the Center for Leadership & Innovation for 2 hours of pd. Used the @glowforge to engrave a journal cover, @Prusa3D for trinkets, and @cricut for stickers. We also made #vibrobots and flashlights.

[Center for Leadership and Innovation (CLI) @CLISeattle]

Teachers had a blast creating during our first PD in our new space. #Vibrobots were a hit. Once they figured out how to make the bots vibrate, they moved on to designing something fun.

7th grade did a phenomenal job applying design heuristics to create physical prototypes for their app ideas!

We are so excited to get our 6 @Prusa3D printers set up. Up next - support the annual 7th Grade project to create a scale model of one room in the school. This year, they chose the new CLI and they will 3D print some of the components.

LOOK at how my kindergartners have become such experts using and navigating MS Teams this school year! So proud! #MSTeams #gostsfalcons #kinderchat #MIEExperts

"Work backwards from the customer." Listen to needs and try to meet needs rather than approaching it as 'this is what we have, do you want it?' Apply agile processes, iterate, learn, and try again. @abe238 Disaster Relief, Amazon in the Community

SDGs - We cannot wait anymore. Figure out what are you good at, who can you partner with, and then start working locally. Share your failures - don't be shy. Take risks. Learn as you go, and involve the community in it all. @AliHMokdad

@STSKindergarten We think the children are pretty lucky to have you!

What's outside your window? While this math is great, check out how these Kindergartners know how to use their Surfaces and Inking too! #gostsfalcons #joboaler #mathtalks #MIEExperts #MSEdu
