Target audience: general public.

We want students to challenge the status quo, to have confidence in their research, to “problem-find” as well as solve problems with ingenious flair. This is what the NoTosh Design Thinking process sets out to do, with a simple, common language with which to frame learning (http://www.notosh.com/design-thinking). In Part 1 and 2 of Design thinking for learning we will give guidance on how teachers and leaders can embrace design thinking in the classroom.

We will give guidance on how students and teachers can create a ‘project nest’ where they can keep their ideas bubbling away. During the synthesis phase of the NoTosh Design Thinking process we begin to move from complex and conflicting ideas (the messy project stage) to a need to instil order and logic, and arrive at working solutions. And while linear thinking works in a traditional framework, it’s less helpful when you want to see, understand and reflect on the relationships between ideas. Before committing to any one direction, we help teachers and their school leaders understand how to engender a prototyping culture in their classroom, where students prototype projects in concrete terms, ‘good enough’ to get feedback, but without the input and effort that prevents people offering useful critique on more ‘polished’ work.
