It’s game time! Starting with the Pre-Game module, you’ll begin thinking like a designer. Freeing your mind to explore new ways of upcycling everyday objects will help you throughout the other modules. The skills learned in each module build as you progress, so we recommend completing them in numerical order. Along the way, you’ll get to imagine, play, show some grit, and ultimately collaborate with teammates to knock the final project out of the park.
