This lesson will allow you to explore the
invention process through the lens of
Design Thinking.
Students will learn the five stages of
02 Design Thinking and then apply their
knowledge in a real world scenario by
analyzing a case study.
You will understand the Design Thinking
03 process and how it relates to creating
successful solutions
to problems.

• What can you do to solve
others' problems? Record the
answers on the board for all
students to see.
• What if I gave you a process
that would allow you to solve
every problem you and others
encounter? Would you be willing
to try it?
Design Thinking is an
iterative process that
seeks to identify and solve
complex problems by
approaching them from
the user's perspective.

WHAT IS
DESIGN
RE
THINKING
IN AL LIFE?
Teaching Design Thinking is at the heart of their
mission. The idea of defining a problem,
iterating and prototyping, and then testing a
solution has proven to be an effective way to
solve problems in both education and the real
world.
When InkSmith was approached about the shortage
of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the
Waterloo Region of Ontario, Canada, their team
quickly drew on their Design Thinking experience
to figure out how it should be attacked.
InkSmith is a company that creates
educational products to help improve
learning for kids. ‹#›
