Learning to adapt and thrive means knowing how to generate new ideas and new solutions. By incorporating the elements of design thinking into all aspects of the RHA curriculum, we will be better able to produce students who have a strong sense of purpose, a stake in what happens in the world around them, and a desire to find ways to create a better world. We want parents to be involved in design thinking as well. There are many ways to foster your child's curiosity at home and share in the excitement of seeing where that curiosity leads. Help and encourage them to visualize, to imagine, and to have confidence in their own ideas. We can't wait for you to see what an emphasis on curiosity and design thinking will bring to your child's education at Robbins Hebrew Academy. " I have no special talents.
