Season 5, Episode 4 | Noah, Lorenzo, Scarlett, and Enya with Dr. Lynelle Boamah, Director, US Navy, Bureau of Medicine & Surgery (Ret)

On this episode of the ImPactful Sandbox, listen to team members Noah, Lorenzo, Scarlett, and Enya engaging in an incredible conversation on "Good Health & Wellbeing" with Dr. Lynelle Boamah, the just recently retired Director of the US Navy's Maritime Operations, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

The ImPactful Teen Innovation Sandbox program teaches students how to solve big challenges using a design thinking process in four phases: Understand, Ideate, Prototype and Pitch their solutions. The podcast provides an additional opportunity for the students to amplify their communication skills by learning from local leaders with domain expertise on a variety of global and local challenges. This group of students choose to explore how to tackle the challenge of "Good Health & Wellbeing." Team "5 Great People + 1" targeted their creative flow towards the development of an interactive, informational, and fun website educating teens on the danger of vaping.

The Impactful Sandbox is a program developed by the Jacobs Institute for Innovation in Education at the University of San Diego, Pactful, the social good app, Cloudcast Media and its SchoolCAST program. Funding for the Jacobs Institute has been generously provided by Dr. Irwin and Joan Jacobs. Funding and support for Season 5 of the Impactful Sandbox was provided by the San Diego Foundation through their Level Up program.
