What is design thinking? Share your thoughts with this collaborative page. We will check out the video below to learn more (shorter video) (really short). Here is a good example of what design thinking might look like when applied.

In class, we will use this link and the ones below to complete a virtual crash course in design thinking. You will need a partner, feel free to relocate. We will have a collection of art supplies to use for prototyping.

  • Kick off a Crash Course

    • Facilitator Playbook (teacher)

    • Participant Worksheet - To save paper we will reference this document and type the info in a Google Doc. For sketching, use paper or the drawing tools below.

    • Prototyping materials: large & regular construction paper, styrofoam cups, dixie cups, foam balls (popular), index cards, tape (scotch, masking, electrical, duct), binder clips, aluminum foil, wooden dowels variety, jumbo craft sticks, wooden skill sticks, pipe cleaners (popular), fuzzy kit (balls, eyes, sticks), scissors, hot glue guns and glue, pencils, crayons, markers, etc.

    • Virtual Crash Course Video (play saved version)- We will shorten each of the work periods by about one minute or more. Stop at 1:16:36.
