EuroIA: Teaching Design Thinking, Jason Hobbs & Terrence Fenn

Terrence Fenn and Jason Hobbs combined research and a very South African perspective to design education. Their research (aided by a grant by the IA Institute) looked at how we create designers that are equipped to deal with problems beyond their discipline space.

    #euroia Fenn: while design thinking is promoted by IDEO etc, it's locked behind copyright and thus difficult to use in education.
