$W282 | Design Thinking and Disney Innovation (Room NORTH 329)

From Disney and Pixar Animation Studios to the collaboration between General Motors for the Epcot Test Track Ride, there are valuable lessons to anchor Design Thinking and so many careers. Design Thinking starts with empathy, then defines the problem or challenge. Next comes ideation, prototypes, and testing. This workshop shows how a classroom from Seattle learned Design Thinking and applied it in practice with learning from experts with real-world application. Cultural relevance, attention to detail, mathematics, technology, art, science, and engineering are all anchored with free Microsoft tools for collaboration and productivity. Come away with free resources, tools to implement in your classroom and inspire your students in new career possibilities. Disney Institute inspired concepts.
