Earlier this month, our Director of Innovation and beloved STEAM Teacher, Rob Gilson, presented at Pocket Lab's Science Is Cool Unconference, @biomimicryinstitute.

In his presentation, Rob discussed how at Blue School, the design process begins with Empathy, which is the most essential step of all. Designing from a place of empathy asks: who is this for, and why are we doing this? Looking toward biomimicry brings powerful empathy and purpose to design work.

This spring, Blue School hosted its first school-wide Spring Arts Festival, a week-long celebration of the expressive arts that showcased student work in many different forms.
