Design Thinking, a radically creative problem-solving approach, empowers students to use their own skills/strengths to design innovative solutions to real-world issues. This session focuses on practical application of the Design Thinking process, informed by the Next Generation Science standards and ELA CCSS, to engage students in learning that drives local and global change, the active foundation of cultivating global competence.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply the Design Thinking process in a classroom setting
