What is the C3 Thinker Tank?
The C3 Thinker Tank Community experience program will give students and teachers in the Archdiocese, an opportunity to cultivate their creativity through maker projects and activities while reinforcing the disciplines of math, science, engineering, architecture, design, and art. The Thinker Tank team will provide support and assistance to teachers and students as they develop their ideas, learn new skills and enhance working in a collaborative maker environment.
Our C3 Thinker Tank team will lead a community of teachers through a year long program that provides teachers/educators with necessary techniques to teach their students essential life skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication, which students learn through specially designed interactive projects. Thinker Tank Communities then share their ideas and receive additional support from other teachers involved in Thinker Tank education. The C3 Thinker Tank program will also include a 3-4 day visit from the Thinker Tank Van ($5000-$10000 value)
