Design thinking emphasizes a solution-based approach that leads to creative solutions that might not have been anticipated using traditional, analytical methods. Now, in places like Stanford’s dschool, students are using design thinking to address social problems, create new tech tools, and generate alternative solutions to difficult problems.

In this design thinking session, we will examine how to create a learning ecosystem that will graduate future generations of creative, socially responsible, lifelong learners with the competencies to be agile in a rapidly changing digital economy. Our departure points for discussion include:

• What does it mean to be human in the digital age?
• What does it mean to learn in the digital age?

Please join us in a lively discussion and share your stories and experiences as we prepare our students to enter “The Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
