We are all design thinkers. Whether or not you realize it, design thinking is already part of how you approach challenges, innovate solutions, and create meaningful learning experiences. As artificial intelligence becomes an integral part of how we work and learn, the key to success lies in how we collaborate with these technologies. This workshop will explore how design thinking can transform AI from a simple tool into a true teammate in your educational practice. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, participants will learn how to apply design thinking principles to collaborate with AI, framing the right challenges aligned to your desired outcomes and results. Rather than seeing AI as a replacement, this session will show you how to use it as a partner that amplifies your human creativity and critical thinking. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have actionable strategies to collaborate with AI as a teammate, realizing the skills and mindsets that make you irreplaceable.
