The design thinking process can be used to encourage problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration among students and can be incorporated into various subjects and projects, across different disciplines. It is used where a need or opportunity is identified and a design solution is developed. As an example, students could create solutions to reduce waste at their school which promotes sustainability.
It is a non-linear process which can boost creativity and innovation in your students. This journal has utilises 5 steps which is the model proposed by Hasso-Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test.
The journal can be adapted to suit the particular need of the project, whilst building skill in using technology creatively.
