At School of Design II, hands-on teaching and learning isn't just a method; it's a way of life. Our students dive into practical experiences, mastering concepts and skills through real-world projects. Here, learning by doing transforms understanding into innovation #lpuuniversity #lpudesign #designeducation #HandsOnLearning #experientiallearning #InnovationInEducation #furnituredesign #interiordesign #productdesign #industrialdesign #userexperience #bestdesignschool #leadinguniversity #thinkbig

Embracing Design Thinking in Education: A Pathway to Real-World Problem Solving Imagine a classroom filled with the sounds of activity—materials scattered across tables, animated discussions buzzing around the room, and the palpable excitement of students deeply engrossed in their work. This is the sound and feel of true engagement, where learning comes alive, and students are genuinely excited about what they are creating. This was the scene in Mrs. Ortiz's 4th grade summer program, where students embarked on a mission to design and build a sustainable community out of cardboard. Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), these young innovators tackled pressing global challenges with creativity and compassion. The project began with the students designing and constructing a food bank and a clothing store. They collected non-perishable items and organized a clothing and toy drive to ensure everyone in the community had access to essentials. Inspired by their classmates, the students planted a vegetable garden at their school, growing fresh produce to donate to the local food bank. Concerned about community health, they designed and built an outdoor gym to encourage daily exercise. Additionally, the students created a system to collect rainwater, promoting water conservation and environmental protection. They also built models of solar panels and wind turbines, showcasing clean energy solutions. Throughout the project, students documented their ideas and progress in a book, highlighting their journey and the impact of their efforts. This cross-curricular approach blended science, literacy, technology, and teamwork, allowing students to imagine, design, build, and share their ideas. These are the tools they will carry into their future endeavors.

In a new Getting Smart Blog, Dan Coleman, Ph.D., dives into the concept of school buildings as “third teachers,” a notion introduced by Loris Malaguzzi in the 1970s. Traditionally, we recognize that the physical environment profoundly influences learning. However, Coleman challenges us to rethink not just the presence but the pedagogical role of these environments. Are our schools merely lecturers, imparting static knowledge, or can they be dynamic facilitators of inquiry and interaction? Coleman envisions a transformative approach where school buildings act more like interactive playgrounds or immersive museum exhibits, fostering a deeper engagement with learning. He illustrates how different designs can elicit varied educational responses, from passive absorption to active problem-solving and collaboration. By drawing parallels with innovative spaces like MIT's Building 20, Coleman advocates for educational environments that encourage exploration, creativity, and critical thinking. His vision compels us to consider how we can design school buildings that continuously inspire and challenge students, making learning a more participative and enriching experience.

What happens when students take the lead in designing their learning environments? Transformative spaces emerge—where collaboration, creativity, and engagement thrive. Student-led redesign projects not only create functional spaces but also give students a sense of ownership and responsibility. Here is a case study from Arizona State University: ASU implemented Learning Futures Collaboratives where students contribute to designing makerspaces, study areas, and classrooms. Their hands-on approach ensures the spaces reflect student priorities and modern learning requirements. Student-led design matters because it encourages inclusivity, skill development, and community building. If you’re an educator or institution leader, explore how empowering students in space redesign can transform your learning environments.
