A Learning Studio is a place where learners define the problems they want to solve and design solutions to address them. Leveraging powerful technology from HP and Microsoft, students engage in activities and projects that expose them to skills and strategies such as design thinking, engineering, and digital communication.
Visitors to a Learning Studio will observe that:
In 2016, Digital Promise Global collaborated with HP and Microsoft to pilot a design-centered learning program called Learning Studios. Now, joining the Learning Studios network is made possible through purchase by schools as a bundle of cutting-edge technology and professional services, including in-person training, support through an online educator community, project guides and challenges, and virtual exchanges.
