These lesson plans are created for:
- Middle and high school teachers seeking fresh ideas for incorporating innovative thinking tools into their classrooms.
- Educators who want to empower students to become more critical thinkers and problem solvers.
- Pre-service teachers and students in an education program who are looking for practical examples of how to design effective and engaging lessons.
What is See Think Wonder?
- "See Think Wonder" is one of the Thinking Routines developed by Project Zero from Harvard Graduation School of Education. Project Zero developed and open-sourced multiple Thinking Routines on its website for teachers around the world.
- The purpose of using "See Think Wonder" is to help students look slowly and closely, develop thoughtful interpretations, and stimulate broader curiosity.

STW in the Challenge vs. Original Concept
- The method used in the Challenge derives from the concept of Harvard Project Zero but has been fine-tuned. We integrate MIT systems thinking and Harvard Project Zero sub-project Agency by Design, which leads thinking towards action and encourages students to validate designs and creations.
- The original concept of "See Think Wonder" in Project Zero encourages group discussion. In "See Think Wonder Challenge," Round 1 and Round 2 are designed for individuals to encourage more participation. Teamwork will only be conducted in the Final Round.
