Design Thinking is a powerful and creative problem-solving process that builds a strong infrastructure for both teaching and learning.

Why Is It Important? 

Design Thinking is a powerful creative problem-solving process that builds a strong infrastructure for both teaching and learning, enabling a broad range of solutions for a problem.
