Creative Corner: Innovation through empath Talk today focuses on bringing design thinking to schools
Friday, I’m leading a design thinking in education workshop for teachers and community members in Burlington and Winooski, organized by the Partnership for Change. A growing number of educators are realizing that the skill sets core to design thinking — an innovative and human-centered approach to solving tough problems — are in fact just the sort of skills needed to prepare our kids for success in a changing 21st century world.
After spending many years in innovation consulting at IDEO and learning and lecturing at Stanford University’s design program, design thinking has become a way of life for me. It is founded on two core principles — care deeply about the people you are designing for (empathy) and try out your ideas long before you think they’re ready (prototyping). Via Edwin Rutsch
