Acknowledging the ever-increasing trend that integrates the arts and technology, The Benjamin School offers unique opportunities to students to merge disciplines in the Arts & Innovation Department. At the core of the department is the goal to equip students with the tools and skills required to function in an increasingly technological society. Using teaching methodology that encourages the application of design thinking, the department merges courses that incorporate visual arts, computer science and engineering. All classes focus on project-based learning, problem-solving skills and a reiterative model that encourages experimentation and process. We seek to encourage students to become lifelong, self-motivated learners who will use creativity and technology to fully expose and develop their true creative and academic talents. Specific approaches in each course adapt and evolve as new technology unfolds. Equally important is an emphasis on foundational skills and the notion of questioning as guidelines for investigation. Students are encouraged to document their learning by utilizing inventive methods that reflect their individual growth and understanding. By building a student’s ability to identify and resolve problems independently using design thinking, we establish a growth mindset that promotes learning across all subjects.
