What is this?

We have put together an inaugural design thinking workshop for children aged 10 to 12 years old! The session will engage your child meaningfully during their September school holidays.

What’s so special about design thinking? This process helps us become better problem solvers by encouraging empathy, creativity and critical thinking. It is an approach many leading creative and innovative companies adopt to develop their products and services. But this method is not just for adults; children can apply design thinking too!

Exposing children to design thinking can instil critical thinking, encourage young ones to have confidence in themselves when they meet challenges, and be creative in finding solutions.

Through fun, hands-on and collaborative activities, children will engage with the following:

  • Empathise with the problem️
  • Run wild with ideas
  • Create prototypes of their own designs
  • Receive feedback on how to improve their solutions

How will your children benefit?

The design thinking process encourages:

  • Curiosity through asking questions
  • Empathy and understanding of the needs of others
  • Critical thinking by reframing the challenge they face
  • Innovative thinking for solving problems
  • Being hands-on with a problem, leading to greater self-confidence
  • A growth mindset that is valuable for lifelong learning
