About this book

Education needs new ways to prepare individuals and societies for the multitude of changing challenges in the twenty-first century. In today's world—characterized by digitization, increasing speed, and complexity—design thinking has established itself as a powerful approach to human-centered innovation that can help address complicated problems and guide change in all areas of life. Design thinking formats not only teach skills that benefit people as they expand their "toolbox," but also create affective and cognitive outcomes.

This book includes experiences, approaches, and reflections on design thinking in education from different perspectives of renowned design thinking experts from the network of the Hasso Plattner Institute and its School of Design Thinking. Using real-world examples, the book provides insights into requirements and protocols that design thinking practitioners can apply to transform their academic or professional ecosystem.  It will be of interestfor readers who work in or are interested in a wide variety of educational contexts.
