Last Wednesday, 11/8, Mr. DeBlasio's Design Thinking class took a trip to the American Dream Mall. The class had an hourlong meeting with Don Ghermezian (The CEO of Triple Five Group who owns the mall), the General Manager, and members of his marketing team at their corporate headquarters. The class received their four-part challenge, which they will work on over the next 8-9 weeks and the students will then return and present their solution to the group. Afterward, the class got a firsthand tour of the facility which is one of the three largest entertainment complexes in the Northern Hemisphere! Amazing experience for our students!
