The partners engaged in activities for team building related to identifying team values, problem discovery through research and establishing associations, problem statement definition in an accurate manner that allows introducing viable solutions, ideation, and prototype design. Participants used a number of tools in the form of worksheetsfor helping deploy design thinking in the classroom. The tools are available for partners for supporting their future design thinking efforts.
