Design Processes
• Intent/Problem Identification/Clarification• Research - Learn more about it
• Develop Criteria - What does a good solution need?
• Generate ideas - What are some possibilities?
• Select best possibilities - What fits the criteria best?
• Produce the design/prototype/model/layout• Implement - See if it works
• Evaluate - How is it used?

(MC²STEM) Metropolitan Cleveland Consortium STEM High School
Design Lab High School
Both new high schools are based on the principles of how schools should be structured for the 21st century. A dramatic departure from the factory-model education of the past, this new way of designing and delivering curriculum connects teachers, students and professionals to a wealth of relevant knowledge outside the walls of a school building. Students have opportunities that help them make connections between what they are learning and its application to their professional choices.
Objective of the District of Design
is to define Cleveland as the
product design capital of the
US…the Milan of the Midwest.
