Design Thinking- Fail Faster to Succeed Sooner

YES Program at Generator

Generator is helping Community & Economic Development Office (CEDO) and Burlington High School (BHS) give 18 students the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship and different career paths through a design thinking workshop on Friday, June 1st.  High school is the time to try different fields and start a career. That can be a daunting task if you don’t know what you want to do. Burlington High School Year End Studies (YES) program offers all students of the BHS community exciting alternatives for learning. These non-traditional courses expand student understanding and inspire new student interests. Generator will be guiding students through prototyping exercises that encourage failing fast to succeed sooner. Intensive, interest-driven opportunities like the design thinking workshop enhance enthusiasm for learning.
