Do the kids need design thinking? Is it important to develop their creativity and teach them how to solve problems with creative approaches? The teachers of design thinking course in our school believe such skills are necessary in our constantly changing world. The ability to reconsider usual views of different things, make a decision quickly and find a solution to the situation in school or at home is a huge advantage, isn’t it?
During design thinking training process kids will learn its main principles:
1. Empathy. On classes we will learn to understand values and demands of targeted audience, see the world through its eyes, think differently stand against existing schemes.
2. Focus. Information analysis, identifying priorities and focusing on genuine needs are going to be our main tools.
Idea. We will generate ideas by brainstorming during which kids will learn to work within a team, support and develop ideas of each other and cooperate.
3. Prototyping. On classes we will create product prototypes related to information technologies: games, websites, mobile apps.
4. Tests. We will check each prototype on practice: get feedback from real people and process the results.
5. Presentation. We will learn to present and defend own decisions and products, tell stories of creating projects and share experience.
