Design Sprint with Harvard Graduate School of Education: Student clubs collaborate on resource reorganization

On Wednesday, December 7th, the Harvard Forest Education and Outreach team co-sponsored a design sprint with the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s UI/UX and Students for Climate Justice clubs. The group spent the evening coming up with potential solutions for reorganizing the Teacher Resource page on the Forest's Schoolyard Ecology website to make it easier for teachers to access and utilize the program's wealth of available lesson plans, support materials, and project ideas.

HGSE students Ola Jachtorowicz, Katie Yarnold, Annie Fu, Andrea Foo, and Lauren Simmons were the masterminds in creating this highly successful event. Nearly 20 graduate students from Harvard and MIT came together to create multiple solutions. Harvard Forest's 2023 Winter Intern Andrea Foo will be taking these ideas and creating a new design framework for the resource archive in January.
