LEARN ·2023 Grants ChallengeCultivating Curiosity in Classrooms and Beyond
An LA2050 grant would enable UCLA's Center X to pilot Design Based Learning (DBL) in UCLA Partner Schools. DBL is a multi-disciplinary methodology in which students design cities of the future, addressing issues such as resource-sharing, green space, political structures, and transit, as they work in groups to model innovative public spaces using classroom art supplies and math/science tools. DBL-trained teachers can use this approach to engage students in any subject matter, cultivating curiosity and a culture of cooperation among students.
