DESIGN THINKING <> STEM EDUCATION

We created a workshop for instructors to share teaching strategies, discover active learning tools, and learn how to prototype solutions… all within the framework of design thinking! Our aim is to equip instructors with ways to increase student belonging in the classroom. This workshop is well-suited for a variety of instructors, from high-school teachers, graduate student teaching assistants, to university faculty. For example, an ideal case use is for incoming graduate students during orientation before becoming teaching assistants themselves. To hold the workshop, you do not need any experience in design thinking, just a willingness to facilitate discussions. All information is included in the presentations (e.g. embedded videos) and workbook. Check out the trailer above and sample slides below to get a better sense of the workshop!

 
 

We created an in-person and virtual version of the workshop. There are also versions with English or French captioning.
It is best to download the powerpoints, as the embedded videos and graphics are not correctly displayed in the google drive preview.
