In the culmination of their Food Truck Challenge project, seventh-grade science students hosted their “customers”—the third graders. For this design thinking project created by science teacher Carlos Charriez, the seventh graders were challenged to design a food truck for their Lower School friends that focused on healthy eating. Centering the creative process on empathy, they were tasked with interviewing the third graders, considering special dietary needs, and then reworking their concepts based on feedback from their customers. At the reveal day of the Food Truck Challenge, third graders got to sample the offerings that ranged from plant-based milkshakes to grilled fruit!
