The Media Learning Lab, aims to provide the resources for my students to deepen their passion for creating and sharing. I continue to see an increased level of intrinsic motivation and quality when products are made for an authentic audience. The listed items will be used to support students in their ability to prototype, test, and market solutions for community clients. Using the design thinking approach, students would focus on a local challenge and design a product (media and/or 3D print) to address their chosen issue. The resources provided will be stored in a safe space on my school campus that will serve as the lab for creating their products.

The regular practice of designing and sharing would instill the career and community skills of creating with empathy, communicating with confidence, and collaborating with inclusivity. For an example,
