Creating a safe recreation space for teens; protoyping a recyclable lunch tray; setting up a water delivery system to guard against urban fires; building a public awareness campaign to combat hunger. These are just a few of examples of the types of tasks students are taking on when they participate in the Design Learning Challenge, an effort to get students to figure out how to solve real-world problems in their communities.
Combining project-based learning, with an emphasis on the arts and design thinking, this academic competition now in its third year — a partnership between the Industrial Designers Society of America, or ISDA, and the National Art Education Association, or NAEA — has more than 750 students participating this year.

FIRST Global organizes a yearly international robotics challenge to ignite a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among the more than two billion youths across the world.
The not-for-profit public charity provides the framework for an “olympics”-style robotics challenge where one team from every nation is invited to participate in a global robotics event that builds bridges between high school students with different backgrounds, languages, religions, and customs.
By bringing these future STEM leaders together in an engaging and collaborative competition that drives home the importance, excitement, and applicability of STEM education, FIRST Global inspires students to learn the skills they will need to make the discoveries their parents and grandparents would consider miracles, impossibilities, or just plain science fiction.

Gust MEES's insight:
Collaboration with my peers has certainly pushed my thinking and my attachments to cherished methods. It has stretched me, allowed me to realize what I should hold onto and what I should let go. It's been tough, challenging -- but most of all, extremely satisfying. Gust MEES: I did this collaboration already 5 years ago on Google Knol and I have a very positive experience with it (OK, there were also bad moments...) and once found the right online friends it is a pleasure to publish together with them on the same Blog! This makes it possible to have different authors on a same blog, a multicultural publication is so possible! If YOU, dear readers, are interested to do so: WordPress makes it possible, especially with ANNOTUM THEME ===> http://www.scoop.it/t/wordpress-annotum-for-education-science-journal-publishing/?tag=Annotum
