Hypothesis.
If we teach problem solving earlier students will be better equipped to deal with day-to-day challenges.
Goal.
Facilitate Design Thinking workshops for youth so they:
- are enable them to view difficult situations from an optimistic mindset.
- develop/increase creative confidence.
- are equipped them with brainstorming techniques.
- are encouraged individual thinking within groups
- learn the importance of empathy
design thinking / creative confidence / collaboration / brainstorming methods / innovation
Results.
- Where multiple student groups worked the same problem, each group followed the process yet came up with different, viable solutions.
- Following my workshops each student can speak to the value of the design thinking at the end of the session.
- At an event where students rotated various workshops, my design thinking workshop won the highest scores in post even survey results
