Design Lab: Cultivating Creativity and Innovation in Schools

January 15, 2025
SOUTH 210A
Coach Leaders
In an era of rapid technological advancement and evolving educational paradigms, the need for creative problem-solving and innovative thinking has never been greater. This presentation introduces the concept of a Design Lab—a dynamic space within schools dedicated to fostering creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning experiences. Drawing inspiration from the principles of design thinking and maker education, we will explore how Design Labs empower students to become active creators and problem solvers. From ideation to prototyping, attendees will learn how to establish and facilitate a Design Lab environment that encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and interdisciplinary exploration. Through case studies and practical examples, we will showcase the transformative impact of Design Labs on student engagement, motivation, and achievement. Join us on this journey to reimagine learning spaces and unleash the creative potential of every student.
