Day one of the City of Glacier Park project will introduce students to the LAUNCH cycle which we will use to guide our creative thinking and Project Based Learning (PBL) tasks during the term. We will be joining in the Global Day of Design which is the brainchild of John Spencer and AJ Juliani and will see up to 60,000 students from over 500 schools worldwide attempting various design thinking tasks.

Here are some of the sports we invented using the LAUNCH cycle.
