Foundational Design Thinking with AI
This two-day workshop takes participants through a full design thinking cycle, from an ambiguous problem to a tested prototype and a costed case for backing it. No prior training is assumed, and those without a problem of their own can work from prepared education case studies. Day One is the divergent half: framing a well-scoped challenge, running empathy interviews using funnelled questioning and the five whys, and turning research into themes and How Might We question. Day Two is convergent: structured ideation, building and testing a low-fidelity prototype, and constructing an impact case covering learner benefit, workload, cost, and evidence — culminating in a three-minute pitch to a school leader. AI is applied at every step, with equal attention to what it accelerates and where it misleads. Participants leave with a completed project cycle, the DISCOVER workbook of reusable templates, a prompt library with verification habits built in, and the Impact Canvas for making the case to leadership.
