Design Thinking: It's a Process.
Simply put, design thinking is a process and method for solving complicated problems; problems that Google doesn't have an answer to. Design thinking is used by some of the world's top innovative companies, universities and organizations.
In a world filled with students who ask questions like, "What does this have to do with me?" and "When am I ever going to need this?" Studio D isn't afraid to step to the plate. Students engage in design challenges that have real-world stakes often dealing with community members, politicians, business owners and even military personal. Because they see that their work has meaning and consequence, students require more of themselves than they would in isolation. When these high stakes projects mix with rigorous academic standards, students produce work that is original, high quality, innovative and impactful for their community.
Design thinking puts the power within the students. At Studio D we use a battle-hardened five stage process to tackle any problem our students face. This process resembles students' natural learning patterns and reignites the creativity, resolve, and tenacity they had for learning as a child.
For more resources on Design Thinking and people that do it well, check out the d.school at Stanford University. We model a lot of our processes after this game-changing program, and they do some pretty great things.
