About the talk
The Design Club belief: The future needs people-centred designers to help make the world a better place. Design Club nurtures empathy, collaboration, and problem-solving skills in children and young people. During a Design Club project, young designers work through 5 phases: frame a design challenge, empathise with a target user, generate ideas, prototype a solution, and test that solution for real-world feedback. Here we’re introduced to the Design Club journey, and lessons learned from teaching children about Design Thinking.
