Student CCDT Award
Students who have achieved the Critical & Creative Design Thinking award are at an advantage over other students because they will have learned and proven skills that are highly desired by potential employees and/or graduate schools.
The program will award students with a Critical & Creative Design Thinking (CCDT) award upon the completion of a certain number of options from a list of choices, including the production and enactment of the culminating activity. Before embarking on this program, students will complete the training supplied in the CCDT student Canvas course. Because the options for completion vary and may be co-curricular, the variety and nature of the CCDT options selected by each student will represent diverse expressions of CCDT.
The culminating action plan, project, or research piece will demonstrate the Intellectual Standard level of CCDT based on the respective rubric. Students will articulate their engagement with CCDT throughout the process. By completing the CCDT program award, students will have increased educational and career outcomes compared to their peers.
