Class Act: Brooks students lend a hand to Town of Windsor with design thinking challenge
Dr. Hilary Sowers teaches our fifth grade GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) class at Brooks. This year her students took on a challenging PBL (Problem Based Learning) experience. Sowers explained that her students created a ‘driving question’ (as is done with all PBL projects).

After listening for a week as our highest elected officials ranted, raved and foamed at their mouths during the Congressional hearings, we half expected to see the U.S. Capitol’s dome smoldering in black smoke.
