Why design thinking isn’t just for techies

https://www.eschoolnews.com/2018/07/03/why-design-thinking-isnt-just-for-techies/

Schools often assume that design thinking is a “techie thing” and send their edtech coordinators and directors to design-thinking workshops. Although design thinking has been adopted widely by the tech industry, its approach can be applied by any organization that wants to adopt a way to solve problems empathetically and collaboratively. In schools, design thinking complements inquiry- and project-based approaches to teaching and learning.
