The Design Thinking Process

VIDEO 1: Imagine if... (Inspiration)


PRE-ASSESS: What do you already know about Design Thinking?

Please answer the questions on the Google Form assigned to you in your Google Classroom.  This is an ungraded pre-assessment created to get you thinking about what you may already know or think you know about Design Thinking.  Below is a preview of this form.  

VIDEO 2: What is the DESIGN THINKING PROCESS?  

Watch and respond to the Edpuzzle video, which is previewed below.  You will have access to this very same Edpuzzle through your Google Classroom.  Your responses will be graded.

VIDEO 3:  Kids + Empathy = Change

Check out how these children set about solving a problem using DESIGN PROCESS THINKING, and they did it so naturally!
