36. how is this different from project-based learning?

37. moving beyond school --> innovation to serve the world

38. “design is an agent of change that enables us to understand complex
changes and problems, and to turn them into something useful.”

39. “tackling today’s global challenges will require radical thinking,
creative solutions and collaborative action.” -- Tim Brown, IDEO

41. can kids really make a difference beyond the classroom?

42. local/global problems --> challenge children to design solutions now

43. “our kids need to find ways to
think outside of the box
rather than be confined by what
is possible.
Design thinking does all of this.
it’s a comprehensive approach to
understanding the world and
understanding how we exist in it.
and it’s so much fun.”
