Purpose --
Educate others about design thinking, the design abilities and the way the mindsets and abilities encourage empathy and creativity. Demonstrate how design thinking helped our students develop a problem-finding mindset grounded in a desire to improve the world around them. We will also demonstrate how design work improved students' comfort levels with working in ambiguous situations and problems, including generating their own ideas; making, failing, and reiterating; and accepting and using constructive feedback in their work.
Provide concrete examples of standards-aligned design thinking + creation work in our classes (including students's use of technology tools -- including Adobe Spark, greenscreen technology, laser cutting, simple circuits, Scratch, and Raspberry Pi computers-- to prototype and share their learning).
Objectives--
Educators will leave with an understanding of the design thinking process & design abilities
Participants will understand ways of integrating design thinking practices into standards-aligned instruction
Educators will walk away from session with at least one new idea/plan for integrating design thinking or design abilities into a cross-curricular project in their own classrooms
