We teamed up with students and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.k12lab.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K12 Lab Network<\/a> at Stanford\u2019s d.school, who are leaders in teaching the methodology, to develop this great new curriculum for you! Whether you\u2019re just learning about design thinking or have used the process in your own problem-solving, this is a great lesson plan to introduce design thinking to your high school students.&nbsp;And, if you&nbsp;have used the process in your own problem-solving before, you can also download templates&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nearpod.com\/designThinking\/index.php#boxGetTemplate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>&nbsp;to create your own challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>What is it?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Design thinking is a powerful framework for creative problem solving. It can be particularly useful in enabling students to tackle real-world problems.<\/p>\n<p>In this Nearpod module, students are asked work through the design thinking process by designing the morning experience for one another. This is a fast-paced project through a full design cycle with you as their facilitator. Students pair up, show and tell each other about their morning routine, ideate and come up with new ideas for their partner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>What will students learn?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Students will get a feel for a design approach and get a taste of the steps in the design process.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, students will learn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: 18px!important;\">to use empathy to understand a user and find a meaningful problem to solve<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 18px!important;\">to imagine multiple solutions for a given problem (and be open to iteration)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 18px!important;\">to prototype to refine innovative ideas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>How do I get started?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/nearpod.com\/designThinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Design Thinking for Student module here<\/a>&nbsp;or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nearpod.com\/designThinking\/index.php#boxGetTemplate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create your own challenge with our template<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/app.nearpod.com\/#\/?pin=CBB68B8DCD15BDBB1ECE57F96C4E1F0E-0&amp;he=true\" width=\"600\" height=\"514\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new, project-based Nearpod experience to introduce students a process for creative problem-solving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5340,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[889,906],"tags":[129],"class_list":["post-596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-updates","category-updates","tag-product-updates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.1 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Design Thinking comes to Nearpod!
