Lower School Learns from the Bionic Project

Representatives from the Bionic Project, whose mission is to build empathy through education, story, and sport, presented to Lower School students about four concepts: disability, empathy, ally, and universal design. The presenters provided many opportunities for students to think critically and collaboratively about the definition of each of the four ideas and to share their viewpoints. The students were abuzz with their observations and perspectives, contributing thoughtful comments throughout the session! The Bionic Project reps also led breakout sessions in Lower School homerooms to explore these issues further and to brainstorm about universal design.
