Their task was to produce concept proposals along a Sustainable Futures Initiative theme that would be vetted internally for potential presentation to prospective clients. This fictional design firm&#8217;s name was DezignBl\u00e4st.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;As a part of our sustainable futures initiative, all concepts must promote sustainability features that enhance personal well-being.

This is to get students out of a perfunctory classroom mode of predictability into an innovation-oriented exploration field of uncertainty &amp; potential surprises.<\/p>\n<p>Tying in to the SUHSD mock interviews that I recently participated in, there is one goal where each student could insert a distinctive description of their course experience into their resume. This is about a student&#8217;s design thinking journey and a record of the life lessons they gain along the way. This is a story about growth, purpose and good memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2021, students in the YCISL Design Thinking Incubator workshop series were given the context of a design thinking firm with a Design Innovation Division in which they were interns.
