Design thinking is an iterative, creative problem-solving process that encourages students to develop solutions to real-world challenges. This hands-on, human-centered approach promotes innovation, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity in the classroom. By integrating design thinking, educators can engage students in active learning, encouraging them to think deeply and work collaboratively to solve complex problems.
This session will guide educators on how to incorporate design thinking into their teaching practices, creating a student-centered environment that fosters innovation. Participants will explore design thinking principles, practical applications for various subjects and grade levels, and real-world examples that highlight the positive impact of this approach on student engagement and problem-solving skills.
