Unleashing Personal Potential

BUSINESS

Grades: 9-11

• 6:00 pm Eastern Time (New York Time)

This course facilitates the application of the methods, theories, and findings of behavioral science to students’ own lives and improvement projects. It does so by combining behavioral science with a design thinking approach. You will learn to identify your potential, navigate to achieve it, and stay resilient during the journey. Students will design their own action plans, define goals and prototype strategies to test them, in an iterative feedback cycle. Our course thus blends two intellectual streams that seldom intersect: behavioral science and design thinking.
