Design Thinking

According to Tim Brown from ideou.com, “Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.” As noted by Design Thinking in Schools, design thinking is “a powerful way for today’s students to learn.”
