From listening with intent, to prototyping with Empathy: Teachers will be taken through the design thinking process with an emphasis put on listening with intent. By comparing and contrasting the differences between designing with and without listening in mind, teachers will experience the usefulness and depth that Empathy and Understanding bring to the Design Thinking process and its affect for the end product and user.
