DesignThinking- Stage 3 Ideate

The students began to brainstorm solutions for the problem selected in their respective sub-groups through divergent thinking.

Bus Stop Learning Engagement- Order of operations(DMAS)

 During this activity, the students were given flash cards with increasing difficulty level or challenge containing the problem sums with 2, 3 and 4 operations. These set of cards were placed on four different Bus Stops. The students moved in groups each time the buzzer rang and solved the sums using the DMAS rules. 

DesignThinking- Stage 2 Define

The students discussed in their groups to identify the major problems in both the areas, dining hall and hostel. They also discussed the impact these problems have on the end users. Later, the groups defined the problem statement. They formed sub groups within their groups based on the major problems identified in their respective areas.

An interactive session with Ms.Nuwaira on Design Thinking

During this session , the students shared their understanding of the Design Thinking process and its various stages with Ms.Nuwaira. They also reflected upon their work done so far in the current Design Thinking project. The students made a connection between the Inquiry Cycle and the Design Thinking strategy. Where inquiry process enables us to inquire and gather information, make real life connections and help building attitudes and skills, the Design thinking process provides an opportunity to find problems and come up with solutions for these problems . It was an interactive session. :) :)

Sharing and recording observations

The students shared their observations made during their visit to the Dining hall and Hostel with their peers as a continuation of the Stage 1-Empathize of the Design Thinking process. They recorded their observations after sharing the same.

Sharing NEWS

As a regular practice , the students bring interesting NEWS related to Current Affairs, sports, technology, etc. and share with their peers.

DesignThinking- Stage 1 Empathize

 The students identified two areas in school, the dining hall and the hostel to conduct their observations as part of the first stage of the Design Thinking process. They were divided into two groups . One group visited the dining area while the other group explored the hostel area. They listed down their observations after visiting these areas and interacting with the end-users in both the departments to empathize with the problems faced by them.
