Design thinking is a strategy and a process for engaging students with real-world problems in a way that is fun, flexible, and academically challenging. It helps students think creatively about solving problems, inventing solutions, and engineering products within existing curriculum standards. The process gives structure to educators and workshop facilitators while keeping thinking open-ended for students. In this hands-on, engaging workshop, we’ll explore ways to bring design thinking into your library programming or classroom learning.
