MS Adroit

Adroit at the middle school level is about applying our knowledge of Design Thinking with a lot of guidance and support from our teachers. We continue to focus on growth mindset, learning to communicate, how to collaborate, and what it means to be empathetic. We learn how to use the tools in the Adroit room to support our Design Thinking process.
