Here's the slide I presented to teachers to show how #designthinking is the combination of using creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking to develop innovative solutions. Creativity for wild, moonshots ideas, and problem-solving and critical thinking to make sure that the ideas actually work (desirable, feasible, & viable). This slide also shows how DT is not only a process, but (majority) a set of human-centered, innovative-friendly mindsets. Finally it also shows how #design involves the SAS's mission to integrate inquiry, competencies and performance tasks into learning. #sasedu #sastheloft #dtk12chat https://www.instagram.com/p/B8LwVkqB5AK/?igshid=1hurtyddlwlyq

Mrs. Jacobsen was so excited to finally get her desk organizer from a #5thgrade S! #dtk12chat #design #DesignThinking #kispride (at Korea International School)

Creativity mindset posters: As a class we identified the emotions we feel when we get stuck and when we get to the aha moment. Everyone gets stuck and feels those emotions that come with being stuck. But people who enjoy being creative understand that if they're persistent they have a better chance of getting to the aha moment, which is filled with positive emotions. #sastheloft #sasedu #designthinking #dtk12chat https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3KH7aB72R/?igshid=a5efgerkvt3p

Had a blast teaching creative mindsets to Karen Harrison's 2nd grade class! I think it's my fav grade to teach. Will be sharing some of the posters I created for the #DTmindset lessons. #designthinking #dtk12chat #sastheloft #sasedu https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0d27YhH6V/?igshid=1350mzo6lvxzs

#3rdgrade Ss explaining an idea they came up with together during the #Plussing session. Foldable chair with leg rest and head rest that can become a surface to do work on. Seemed pretty excited to share! #designthinking #dtk12chat #engineering #brainstorming #ideate #sastheloft #sasedu https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-Sx9vh1gU/?igshid=fp72htcvrz7s

The power of prototyping and building to think! When working with two 2nd grade classes on their prototypes for their museum exhibit, one student came up to me and stated "I think I'm getting smarter." This was his reaction when he saw that he was able to creatively problem-solve when faced with multiple design obstacles. So many times Ss work on learning activities where there is only one way to do things. Here, he was able to think through things with his hands as well as try out multiple ways of making his prototype "work." #designthinking #dtedu #dtk12chat https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Ql3AmhHyR/?igshid=13sw2s870area

DT develops mindsets and practices that are valuable in many different contexts, not just "design" fields. #designthinking #dtedu #dtk12chat #empathy2action https://www.instagram.com/p/B3wo1KIhXtP/?igshid=sipud4t6jy5x

G4 Ss loved sharing their ideas w/ their classmates during the @ideo Really Bad Ideas brainstorm! Developing creative "fluency" in a lowstakes, nonjudgmental brainstorming environment. Led to large quantity of ideas and less frequency of getting stuck! Warm up to get the juices flowing. Some of these bad ideas could have been modified to become innovative ones by building upon them. Asked who wanted to share their idea to the class! #dtedu #dtk12chat #empathy2action #designthinking https://www.instagram.com/p/B25C-H8B7mX/?igshid=16g1e2xhlpq1z
