Design Thinking Challenges
Scenario-based activities that help students think outside the box, experiment with ideas, and embrace creative problem-solving. The focus is on how to think — not what to think — building confidence, collaboration, and communication skills
Design Thinking Challenges are great for:
✅ Adding a fun, energising element to lessons while supporting learning.
✅ Helping get students excited about the subject matter.
✅ Building a mindset that lets students approach and respond to problems and opportunities with creativity and innovation.
✅ Develop students’ skills such as communication, creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, and building their confidence.
✅ Teachers looking to support students in developing collaboration through activities intentionally designed to foster teamwork (i.e., not just teamwork for the sake of it).
Different ways to integrate:
These are generally able to be completed within a single class session.
Use as a weekly addition if time allows or incorporate each month or term/semester.
If using weekly, these are great to lift engagement late in the week or start the week with high energy.
If using once per term/semester, these are great at the beginning to help develop good classroom culture and allow students and teachers to settle into the new class dynamic.
A fun way to wrap up your course, while reminding students of the essential skills they’ve developed.
Use as competitions to keep student interest and buy-in high.
