I’m leading teams of 1 teacher and 6 students through the design thinking process and am really struggling to find engaging videos that relate to various aspects of the process. We teach 1. Empathize, 2. Define, 3. Ideate, 4. Prototype, 5. Test. We have three different age groups: high school (grades 9-12), middle school (grades 6-8), and elementary school (grades 3-5).
Design thinking is about discovering through the design thinking process, the key is the teacher guiding the students. If you show them videos then they’ll think that’s the only way to do it.
In this program, teachers are guiding their students through the design process. I’m looking for resources that can demonstrate how testing a design improves the designers understanding of how users will potentially use it or an example that shows how designers empathize with users to better understand their needs…and things like that.
