Exploring Design Thinking Through Student Projects (Part 2)

Description

Design Thinking is a problem-solving process that involves five key steps: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Join Lauren Boucher and Brian Whitson as they dive deep into steps three through five of the Design Thinking Process and explain how to develop a plan for utilizing effective problem-solving projects with students. Participants will also have an opportunity to access done-for-you templates and support materials to create their own content-specific learning experiences that they can immediately use with their students.

Objectives

1. Define steps three through five of the Design Thinking Process and explain how students can use them to solve problems and practice essential skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking.
2. Develop a plan for incorporating the Design Thinking Process into a content-specific student project that fosters a solution-based approach to solving a problem.
