About IDEO “Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.” —Tim Brown, president and CEO Thinking like a designer can transform the way organizations develop products, services, processes, and strategy. This approach, which IDEO calls design thinking, brings together what is desirable from a human point of view with what is technologically feasible and economically viable. It also allows people who aren’t trained as designers to use creative tools to address a vast range of challenges. Design thinking is a deeply human process that taps into abilities we all have but get overlooked by more conventional problem-solving practices. The design thinking process is best thought of as a system of overlapping spaces rather than a sequence of orderly steps.

Lime Design | Design Thinking How To Integrate Design Thinking Into K-12 Classrooms - Lime Design | Design Thinking Design thinking is a human-centered prototype-driven innovation process. How can you integrate the design thinking process into your K-12 classroom curriculum? 1. Craft a content-centered design challenge. Think about the content of what you want your students to learn. It might be understanding how a suspension bridge works, figuring out volume and density, or understanding a literary character’s struggles. 2. Design thinking is a process, but the mindsets that underlie the process are equally important. LD riskometer 3. One essential tool of a design thinker is an Empathy Maps. In the classroom, you might have your students work in teams to learn about the World War II-era incarceration of Japanese Americans by exploring www.densho.org and have them craft Empathy Maps for different stakeholders. 4. Use the “Frame” part of the design thinking process in a social studies lesson by having your students read primary source Oregon Trail journals and role play interviews. 5.

Design Thinking - HFLI.org Innovation begins with seeing opportunity in a landscape of challenge. HFLI sees an opportunity to instill a different way of teaching, a different way of learning. Creativity and innovation can and should become an integral part of the K-12 learning experience – the growing complexity of our world requires it. Researchers, businesses, institutes of higher education, and even popular culture, have issued a call for schools to begin to address this important objective. The Design Thinking process provides a structured way of innovating with defined roles, techniques, environments, and tools that address real-world problems. Design Thinking can be used by students of any age and by adults in the workplace. Partners in our work have included: Ford Motor Company Fund, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, W.K. "Creativity is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status." -Sir Ken Robinson.

Design Thinking | Thoughts by Tim Brown Design Thinking: Creative Ways to Solve Problems Tinkering Hands: Students at a suburban San Francisco school work on redesigning a preschool room. Designers see the world differently than the rest of us. What if the same were true for the learning process? By applying the techniques of product design to education, they want to loosen the narrow, rigid process of traditional learning and show teachers how to tap into students' deep wells of creativity, encourage them to see nuanced problems from inside the very core of an issue, and make critical thinking essential to solving any problem. The k12 Lab has distilled the design process down to the following steps: Understand, Observe, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. Melissa Pelochino, a teacher at an economically disadvantaged school in nearby East Palo Alto, is a k12 Lab convert. "Our kids spend their time trying to figure out what answer the teacher wants to hear rather than on what they want to say," she explains. PDF [4.1 mb] Download: k12 Lab's Design Challenge tool kit

Teaching and Learning through Design Thinking - EdTech Researcher Last week was a big week for design thinking in education, both in the field and for me personally. In the wider world, Edutopia is hosting a free course on Design Thinking for Educators which launched last week and continues this week. For me, I facilitated a "Design Charrette" learning group at Project Zero's Future of Learning Institute. The Future of Learning Institute is a professional program run by the Harvard Graduate School of Education. It's a combination of plenary lectures, break-out group workshops, and then learning groups designed which are designed to foster discussion and reflection to synthesize learning. My concern with these kinds of professional development models, with lectures and break out groups, is that the don't always provide a space for educators to experience innovative learning environments. In our design process, we had participants first learn to think like an artist.

Design Thinkers Academy 1. You have to practice Artists invest in perfecting the skills of their craft whether they are drawing a line, holding a pose, or choosing the right words to tell a story. In his 2008 book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell describes the “10,000- Hour Rule”; he feels that the key to achieving world class expertise in any skill is to practice the correct way, for a total of 10,000 hours. 2. In today’s world, just choosing to be an artist is a huge risk. 3. Inspiration comes from a creative collision of textures, flavors, words and sounds.
