Learn “Design Thinking” from the world renowned Stanford Design School. This is a rare opportunity to learn Design Thinking, a human centered approach to problem solving, made famous by David Kelley, IDEO, and the Stanford Design School.
To get started in implementing Design Thinking, the best materials are found on Stanford’s K-12 Design Thinking initiative. Here is a link to the K-12 program and materials. The program is free to educators but sells out quickly.
The Stanford University d.school K-12 Lab utilizes design thinking to help students and teachers focus their own creativity and innovation to develop new educational approaches.
