"My experience at the Design Thinking Lab (DTL) was a game-changer. It taught me to approach problems with empathy, understanding the needs and pain points of users. I learned to define problems accurately, collaborate with diverse teams, and harness the power of collective brainstorming. By prototyping and testing, I discovered how to turn abstract ideas into tangible solutions, iterate based on feedback, and view failure as a stepping stone to success. This experience transformed my ability to design innovative, user-centric solutions that integrate diverse perspectives and address real-world challenges, while fostering adaptability, creativity, and a human centered approach." special thanks to our mentors: Dr. Mohammad Haroon Anwar & Navaid Z.

The Design Thinking Lab was a truly transformative experience that reshaped my approach to problem-solving and innovation. It emphasized the power of empathy and the importance of understanding user needs to design meaningful solutions. By putting the user at the center of every decision, I gained a deeper appreciation for creating impactful and user-centric outcomes. The structured design thinking process—empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test—helped me tackle complex challenges systematically. It encouraged creative thinking, rapid prototyping, and embracing feedback to refine ideas. This iterative approach not only improved the quality of solutions but also taught me the value of learning through experimentation and collaboration. Above all, the lab reinforced the importance of teamwork. Working with diverse perspectives opened up new ways of thinking and solving problems. This experience has equipped me with the mindset and skills to approach challenges with confidence, creativity, and a focus on delivering real value. I am concluding by saying that it was a great experience while working in dtl lab and it teach us to create new ideas and Innovations i would like to thank my teachers for their effort they have taken for us to create a innovative mindset in each of us ➡️Special thanks to Navaid Z.

🚀 Design Thinking + AI in Education 🎓 Building a startup taught me the power of design thinking—creating with the user at the centre. Yet, this approach is still evolving in university education. Recently, I collaborated with fellow engineers and the Faculty of Engineering - University of Sydney to explore how Design Thinking and AI can be utilised in student assignments. As Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, said: "Design Thinking integrates the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success." Completing University of Sydney's course on 'Reimagining Assessments using Design Thinking' reinforced the value of user-centred approaches in creating innovative, impactful learning experiences. I then applied these insights to reimagine assessments in Bioelectronics, blending core concepts from both Biomedical and Electrical Engineering. By integrating Design Thinking and AI, assignments evolve into real-world challenges, preparing students with relevant skills for their future careers. One of my key takeaways is the value of experience, how our unique perspectives shape how we design and solve problems. Thank you to Hamish Fernando, Peter Lok, Rebecca Goldsworthy, and Associate Professor Masahiro Takatsuka for your collaboration and insights. Excited to see how this work helps impact future education for students! #DesignThinking #GenAI #EducationInnovation #USYD

I had the privilege of being a student in the Design Thinking course last year, and I can't recommend it enough. Embracing a human-centered approach to problem-solving and design truly is the future. If you're looking to drive innovation and create meaningful solutions, this course is a game-changer. #UCC #DesignThinking #Innovation

The Design Thinking Lab has proved to be of vital importance in understanding the users' perspective through the projects. Throughout the course I was compelled to think of unique problem solving techniques, focusing on user pain points rather than a perceived notion. I've learned crucial skill of team management and the importance of team-driven ideation. Researching about the modern issues has introduced me to different perspectives of people from various backgrounds and personal experiences. I would like to thank Navaid Z. Rizvi, Ph.D Sir and Dr. Mohammad Haroon Anwar Sir for being incredible guides throughout the duration of the course.

This article presents the reflections of a multidisciplinary team working on CERN’s Challenge-Based Innovation (CBI) since 2014. These reflections on pedagogy and innovation are positioned at the intersection of experiential learning, design thinking and challenge-driven education. Drawing from seven editions of what has become “CBI Fusion Point,” the paper presents the story as an ongoing journey of experimentation with various formats and methods in response to broader shifts in education.
