Is it really a lightbulb?

Earlier in the week during Essentials at 4.0 Headquarters, we learned about a process called design thinking, which, explained by IDEO, allows people who aren’t trained as designers to use creative tools to solve a vast range of challenges.

Our team wanted to prototype this design thinking in a school setting.

We introduced Cameron and Sedonta to the basic ideas of design thinking: We first had them describe their own "ideal" English class, under the premise that no idea was too far-fetched or unrealistic. Then the students shared their ideas with each other, and each student was charged with designing the other’s ideal class.
