===An Innovation Portfolio ===
In our Integrative Design Studios class for our Bachelor's of Science in Engineering degree, I created a curriculum for the first year studio -- part of a 4 yearlong studio series. This is what we named the “Choose Your Own Adventure” (CYOA) module- borrowing the term CYOA, also used in the Thorson First Year Honors Program. For context, we have a series of design sprints students do in their teams, i.e. SDP or Social Design Pathways and DFF or Design for the Future -- This is loosely connected with the CoP, I am showcasing my ability to create a lesson plan that displays authentic learning, which gives students opportunity for agency, latitude and creativity.
In CYOA students are challenged to reiterate their design outcomes from previous design sprints. After interviewing a subject matter expert/stakeholder relevant to the project, they are to choose two of the 4 challenge modules to further validate their design outcome: entrepreneurship, stakeholder analysis, prototyping and testing.
