Traditional education, which is mainly based on
evaluating theoretical content at the end of a course, is not in keeping with
the skillset we require in the twenty-first century. Today, we need creative
and innovative individuals who can think critically, who are capable of
learning to learn, and who have complex problem-solving skills. We need people
who can work collaboratively using transdisciplinary communication skills. We
need citizens who are aware of local needs but have a global vision. They must
make decisions not only based on their own well-being, but also in the best
interests of the community and the planet. They must understand that the
solution requires a balance.
People can acquire these skills through design thinking, which builds the
learning process by carrying out projects, and theorizes based on set
challenges. Biodesign for High Schools is a pedagogical proposal that combines
scientific topics with a creative approach; it offers a plethora of
possibilities to prepare future high school graduates to respond to the needs
of today’s world.
