Awesome curriculum! I truly enjoy walking through each Design Challenge with my students. Some of the supplemental resource's aren't as helpful as I'd like and I have to do a lot of extra research to make them meaningful, but it's a great starting place. If you don't already have a strong understanding of the Design Thinking Cycle and a plan to make it meaningful to your students, then just going through these Design Challenges is going to be a bit confusing for everyone at first. Finding ways to make the daily activities and assignments attainable and easy to manage required some extra effort and I ended up using a graphic organizer packet for each unit and google classroom tools to make many of them work in my classroom setting.
