Hillsdale students participated in several different design challenges. Design challenges give students the chance to practice the 4C's- communication, collaboration, critical thinking & creativity. They even came up with two additional C's- cooperation & compromise!

Design Challenges included Kindergarten's Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Kindergarten students created their own coconut trees and tried to add as many letters as they could!

Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd graders created haunted houses with Keva Planks and put the 10 Timid Ghosts in or on their houses! The goal was not to knock the house down under the ghosts' weight.
