Design thinking encourages an iterative approach to problem-solving, where failure is seen as a natural part of the process. By embracing failure as an opportunity to learn and improve, students develop resilience and adaptability, essential qualities for navigating an ever-changing world. In this course, you will explore design thinking and what it can look like in your classroom or school.
