The 1ON!® Learning - Design Thinking Workshop involves a ‘hands-on’ experience facilitated by the team at Inspired Education Australia with the support of various industry partners for Queensland high school teachers and staff members. This Design Thinking Experience is a practical approach for new age teaching and the future of design.

It will provide your teachers and staff a introductory level of understanding on the Design Thinking principles, key tools, terminology and methodologies. The program is based on the three primary values of Design Thinking - empathy, collaboration and experimentation. The focus of this course will be hands-on including students participating in the workshop activity (guided by our team and your teachers), where they complete a real-world project to problem solve and develop their mindset and skills.

WHY DESIGN THINKING?

Design Thinking provides you with human-centered lenses, allowing you to make better decisions under a new mindset. Your teachers and staff will learn to envision opportunities by asking the right (and sometimes the toughest) questions to understand real human needs. You will learn to build to think and ultimately become an innovator that faces risks and learns from mistakes, leading you to real and impact solutions.
