What is Design Thinking?
Design thinking is an approach used for practical and creative problem-solving. It is based profoundly on the methods and processes with actions that designers employed in work practices, but it has actually processed from a range of different professions including engineering, education, and commercial industry.

Design thinking is tremendously user-centric which focuses on human-centric research to understand people’s needs and come up with effective solutions to meet those needs.

In education, it requires learners to empathise with user in context, define a problem, ideate solutions, and deliver the solution. It is a pedagogy approach of learning by doing which would enhance the learning experience of students.
