Upcycle Challenge: Provide students with a collection of recyclable materials (e.g., plastic bottles, cardboard, fabric scraps) and challenge them to create a functional or artistic item.
Design Thinking Workshop: Conduct a workshop on design thinking principles. Present a real-world problem and guide students through the steps: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test.
Brand Identity Creation: Task students with creating a brand identity for a fictional company, including a logo, color palette, and typography. They can use digital tools or traditional methods.
Pyramiding (Snowball Groups): Given a problem, students first work alone, then in pairs, and finally in foursomes (maximum) and compare, refine, and revise their conclusions and recommendations.
Tennis Ball Design Challenge: This design thinking challenge introduces a design constraint by limiting the prototyping materials to just a tennis ball. Find at least five different uses of a tennis ball.
