Design Signatures in the Wild: Making the Invisible Visible (The Directors Cut) workshop
at the Frontiers in Education conference
Sunday, October 13, 9:00am-12 noon
Are you ready to help your students navigate the design process with greater clarity? Design Signatures in the Wild: Making the Invisible Visible (The Director’s Cut) is THE opportunity to equip them with the tools to reflect more intentionally on their work. You’ll discover how to guide your students in tracking, analyzing, and refining their design process with a unique tool called Design Signatures. This hands-on workshop will show you how to help students make sense of their design journey—no more guesswork, just meaningful reflection.
During this interactive session, you’ll dive into real-world examples and practical exercises that teach you how to incorporate Design Signatures into your teaching. By visualizing their progress, students can become more self-aware and better understand where they are in the process, what steps they’ve missed, and when to revisit important phases. As you create and analyze your own Design Signature, you’ll gain insights that you can bring directly to your classroom.
Join us and learn how to make the design process more visible, intentional, and impactful for your students. We’ll also have OREO cookies!

- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: FIE Sunday Workshop: Design Signatures in the Wild
Design Signatures in the Wild: Making the Invisible Visible (The Directors Cut) workshop
at the Frontiers in Education conference
Sunday, October 13, 9:00am-12 noon
Are you ready to help your students navigate the design process with greater clarity? Design Signatures in the Wild: Making the Invisible Visible (The Director’s Cut) is THE opportunity to equip them with the tools to reflect more intentionally on their work. You’ll discover how to guide your students in tracking, analyzing, and refining their design process with a unique tool called Design Signatures. This hands-on workshop will show you how to help students make sense of their design journey—no more guesswork, just meaningful reflection.
During this interactive session, you’ll dive into real-world examples and practical exercises that teach you how to incorporate Design Signatures into your teaching. By visualizing their progress, students can become more self-aware and better understand where they are in the process, what steps they’ve missed, and when to revisit important phases. As you create and analyze your own Design Signature, you’ll gain insights that you can bring directly to your classroom.
Join us and learn how to make the design process more visible, intentional, and impactful for your students. We’ll also have OREO cookies!
