Use Design Thinking to Integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Deeper Learning
The document discusses using design thinking and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote global education. It provides an overview of several SDGs related to education, gender equality, cities, and poverty. Resources are shared on using design thinking processes like empathy, define, ideate, prototype, and test to engage learners with the SDGs through projects. Examples are given of classroom activities where students connect personal issues to global goals and brainstorm ideas to address issues locally and globally. The document encourages connecting SDGs to STEM learning and taking action at home to promote sustainability.

Observe Engage Watch and Listen As a design thinker, the problems you are trying to solve are rarely your own— they are those of a particular group of people; in order to design for them, you must gain empathy for who they are and what is important to them. goo.gl/6Zy18V “To create meaningful innovations or solutions, you need to know your audience and care about their lives.”

- 15. #rethink_learning#GlobalEd17 @bbray27 Define A goodpoint-of-view: • Provides focus and frames the problems • Inspires your team • Informs criteria for evaluating ideas • Empowers team to make independent decisions • Captures the hears and minds of people you meet goo.gl/6Zy18V The goal of the Define mode is to craft a meaningful and actionable problem statement – this is what we call a point-of-view (POV). This should be a guiding statement that focuses on insights and needs of a audience. In a word, the Define mode is sensemaking “Framing the right problem is the only way to create the right solution.”

- 19. #rethink_learning#GlobalEd17 @bbray27 Ideate Various formsof ideation are leveraged to: • Harness the collective perspectives of your teams • Uncover unexpected areas of exploration • Push for the widest possible range of ideas • Encourage many ideas and discourage judgment goo.gl/6Zy18V “It’s not about coming up with the ‘right’ idea, it’s about generating the broadest range of possibilities.” Ideate is the mode of the design process in which you concentrate on idea generation. It represents a process of “going wide” in terms of concepts and outcomes. Ideation provides both the fuel and also the source material for building prototypes and getting innovative solutions into the hands of your users.

- 23. #rethink_learning#GlobalEd17 @bbray27 Prototype WHY Prototype? •To problem solve. • To communicate. • To start a conversation. • To fail quickly and cheaply. • To test possibilities. • To manage the solution-building process. goo.gl/6Zy18V “Build to think and test to learn.” The Prototype mode is the iterative generation of artifacts intended to answer questions that get you closer to your final solution. A prototype can be anything that your audience can interact with. Start building even if you are aren’t sure what you’re doing.
