Abstract
Learning spaces focused on building authentic and relevant experiences—where students build resilience and grit by failing forward—are critical to preparing students for the future. This future, according to a 2017 survey reported by the Institute for the Future World, is one where an estimated 85% of the jobs that today’s learners will have in 2030 don’t exist today. This means that we, as STEAM (science, technology, engineering, and math) educators, must prepare our students to be adaptable and reflective. Prototyping, one stage of World Savvy’s Knowledge to Action design thinking process, engages students in feedback cycles that build resilience and grit. Through this process of continuous learning and reflection, students also develop global competencies, such as openness to new opportunities, ideas, and ways of thinking, and develop a desire to engage with others, critical skills in preparing young people for new and unknown careers.
