Registration for
✨ Design Thinking Institute ✨
is now OPEN!!

🌈 Monday Jun 24 to Thursday Jun 27, 2022 🌈

8:30pm - 4:30pm
@ The Nueva School, San Mateo Campus

The Design Thinking Institute (DTI) is our annual summer institute dedicated to sharing design thinking practices and processes with other educators.

We welcome all educators interested in incorporating design thinking, or aspects of design thinking, into their teaching practice as well as those who are already using design thinking and want to further deepen their practice. Participants will gain and deepen their understanding of how to create design thinking curricula that foster creative and innovative problem solving skills.

DTI is NOT a traditional conference where attendees choose particular sessions to attend. Rather, DTI is intended to give attendees the time, space, and resources to dive deeply into hands-on curriculum design work integrating design thinking that attendees can bring back to their schools. Therefore, individuals should plan to attend the entirety of the institute in order to fully reap the benefits of the experience. Individuals who are not able to attend the entire institute are encouraged to consider attending when they are able to participate fully.

To accommodate educators with different levels of experience with design thinking, we plan to offer two options during our introductory day 1:

• We will offer a session specifically designed for new practitioners who do not have any background in design thinking. The aim is to get you quickly up to speed so you can start applying it in your classrooms.  
• We will offer a session specifically for educators who have more experience with design thinking and/or who do not interact with students in regular classroom settings. The aim is to consider how to apply the tools of design thinking and systems thinking to larger and more complex systems and processes.

Financial assistance awards are available for educators who do not have access to adequate professional development funds. We also offer group discounts for educators coming from the same school. 

Check out more info on our website.

Questions? Email me directly! I hope you will be able to join us and help us share this with educators who may be interested!
