THE DESIGN THINKING CLASSROOM: IDEATION AND PROTOTYPING:
To help students work on ideation and prototyping, have them research the following items (where required) and have them go through ideation and prototyping. Adding in a presentation about their product, opportunities to gather and respond to feedback, and have the option to refine their design can help build necessary design skills. You can go further by designing an initial challenge to provide context for the ideation and prototyping. For this type of exercise, focus on ideation and prototyping; going through Discovery is not intended for this experience.
