Making the World Better

๐Ÿ”ŽCase Brief #10

Your group needs to solve a problem using civic responsibility and community thinking.

๐ŸŽฏ Your mission

Find the pattern.

โšก The twist

Who benefits? Who is left out?

What You'll Learn

๐Ÿ’ช Even kids can make the world better! Clean up your neighborhood. Help a younger kid. To use this skill, follow these steps: First, understand the problem. Read it again if you need to. What is it really asking? Next, think about what you know. Have you seen something like this before? What worked last time? Then, come up with ideas. Try to think of at least TWO possible answers before picking one. The first idea isn't always the best! Finally, check your work. Does your answer make sense? Can you explain WHY you chose it? If you can explain your thinking, you really understand it. Remember: smart thinkers aren't people who never make mistakes โ€” they're people who LEARN from mistakes!
