Applying Stanford's Design Thinking process to indoor gardening, web design, architectural engineering, theater production, perfume chemistry, engine repair, a charity event, and a book on textile waste -- that's how Gibson Ek students frame their multidisciplinary projects. See for yourself at this year's Design Fair Exhibition on April 1 from 9 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. (Middle schoolers often check it out before the Wednesday late start.) The waiting list for GEHS remains open; some spots may open up for this coming fall. See the Enrollment page at https://gibsonek.isd411.org/. Issaquah Schools Foundation

At Great Careers, GEHS students learned about Lake Washington Tech programs -- such as Baking Arts -- and talked with exhibitors -- such as Blue Origin -- about career paths that don't necessarily require a traditional four-year college degree. Great Careers is an annual event hosted by the Issaquah School District in partnership with the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, Issaquah Schools Foundation, City of Issaquah, and three local educational institutions: Bellevue College, Renton Technical College, and Lake Washington Institute of Technology.
