You’re preparing my curriculum for me. It doesn’t get any better than this in terms of enrichment and preparing the students for open-ended questions.

What is DT Philly?
DT Philly is a program teachers use to help students develop as critical thinkers and creative problem solvers. Throughout DT Philly students have moments of excitement and discovery as well as opportunities for growth, as they seek to understand root causes and find new ways of looking at a problem, as they grapple with project management and team dynamics, and as they work to craft a solution that is desirable and feasible.
