Bison in the News
Re-designing space; designing a career
The Daily Herald, May 16, 2022
The most effective learning opportunities often incorporate problem-solving that students will face in their careers, which is what made this year's design challenge so valuable for Design 214 students. Students from all six comprehensive high schools are enrolled in Design 214, taught by Jeff Bott, a Buffalo Grove division head, and Patrick McGing, a Project Lead the Way instructor, as part of the Architectural and Engineering career pathway. Bott explains that the class evolved from students seeking a deeper dive into architecture and design than previous course iterations offered.
