Sustainability in Manufacturing Lessons 

 

This is a series of design thinking lessons, created in collaboration with the USF College of Education Gus A. Stravos Center for Free Enterprise and Economic Education and support from the Coca-Cola Foundation, that are based off of interviews from industry panelists at the FLATE coordinated panel on Sustainability in Manufacturing. At the conclusion of these lessons, students will gain reading comprehension skills; critical thinking skills; and understand how manufacturers apply reduce, reuse, and recycling methods to their companies.
