The DCP continues in ten New Haven public schools in grades 1-5. This multi-year, multi-grade project is part of the mathematics curriculum.
The DCP goal is to use architecture and design as a problem-solving tool to integrate math and science learning with sequential and comprehensive art and design-based learning to:
create standards-based Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) lessons
introduce STEM-related careers
develop 21st Century skills – collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking
encourage students to apply academic concepts in authentic tasks
foster students' sense of community and civic involvement
