\u201cDesign thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO<\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This programme is suitable for students in or going into Secondary School Levels 1-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: Unlike our regular tuition classes, this programme can cater to more than 6 participants as it involves team work and group learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Thinking? What’s it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thinking like a designer<\/a> can transform the way teams and individuals perform innovative problem solving. This approach brings together what is desirable from a human point of view with what is technologically feasible and economically viable. It also allows people who aren’t trained as designers to use creative tools to address a vast range of challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design thinking process loosely consists of 4 phases – Sense & Sensibility, Empathy, Ideation, and Prototype. These 4 phases provide a framework for a human-centric approach to any project. The process can be applied as a whole or used in a complementary capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design thinking tools can be applied at any stage of a project. The process of design thinking is an iterative cycle where a stronger understanding of the user is created when prototypes are being tested. This ultimately leads to a refinement of the project brief or the improvement of an existing solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
