In June 2021, the first YCISL ITW-DTI (Design Thinking Incubator) was launched. The second was just concluded yesterday. The ITW-DTI focuses on design thinking iteration in order for students to get the feel for revisiting design ideas in a fast succession prototyping manner. This gets the “raw-ness” out of the ideas which we thought would be a useful lesson for design thinking newbies. Previous to the ITW-DTI, we had the ITW (Innovators Toolkit Workshop) which was more broadly skills-based and ended with just one presentation. In the ITW-DTI, students have had to give their presentations three times where each time there was a blast of experiential learning.<\/p>\n

| 4 days (2 weekends) \nSkills: Asking Questions, Fast Creative Thinking, Divergent-Convergent Thinking, Filling & Crossing Gaps, Positivity \nProject: Smart-ified Space or Object \nPresentation: 1 Group Pitch \nExercises: Design-a-Tent, Invent-an-Ice Cream Flavor \nCore: Out-of-Box Design Thinking<\/td>\n | 4 days (consecutive) \nSkills: Asking Questions, Brainstorming, Divergent-Convergent Thinking \nProject: Design-a-Club, Design-a-(Smart) School Space, & more… \nPresentations: Team Practice, Group Practice, Faire \nExercises: Problem Statement, Solution Concept, Feature List \nCore: Asking Questions Approach to Design Thinking<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n The ITW-DTI is a much faster program, but also attends to the “5-second Rule” phenomenon that was dragging the ITW program. By this rule and the more highly packed ITW-DTI schedule, the design thinking brainwork stays in the fast lane. Quick acceleration is key, but only needs to be pushed once. Making incremental improvements is a lot simpler too.<\/p>\n Compared to the earlier YCISL workshop programs that were on-campus and totaled many more contact hours, the ITW-DTI is an effective means of experimenting with design thinking with the potential to connect presence with action (EQ-talk). So long as the ITW-DTI experience along with all other YCISL programs spring the Aha! moments for students, I think we have something worth pursuing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In June 2021, the first YCISL ITW-DTI (Design Thinking Incubator) was launched.
