This spring, our Design Thinking teachers are launching an exciting project: students will reimagine old toys by building entirely new ones from used parts. What better way to give old toys new life while encouraging creativity and innovation?
How to help:
Donate your toys at the District Administrative Office —
100 Commerce Drive, Quakertown, PA 18017
Monday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM
What is Design Thinking?
Design Thinking is a dynamic, hands-on learning approach that helps students become creative problem-solvers. It emphasizes empathy, real-world relevance, and iterative design — guiding students through a process of empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing. By working on open-ended, real-life challenges, students build confidence, learn to consider diverse perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. Design Thinking is often paired with Computational Thinking pathways — preparing our kids for college, career, and life beyond school.
Thank you for helping our students turn old toys into fresh, imaginative creations!
