Education 5.0
Design Thinking Meets ICT | In Education 5.0, students take an active role in the learning process.
Project
At BHAK Althofen, Design Thinking is used in the Information and Communication Technology–E-Business (ICT) track during the 4th and 5th years to develop projects in the areas of social media, web design, and audio and video editing. The Design Thinking process developed by Stanford University is expanded to include creative elements and Lego Serious Play (LSP).
In the 4th grade, students are introduced to Design Thinking and LSP and apply these methods in small projects. In the 5th grade, they apply the skills they have acquired to final projects carried out for companies, organizations, or other institutions. Through the use of Design Thinking and LSP, students learn to think globally and at a meta-level and to create a meta-model of their ideas.
