ReDesignEdu is a 3-day experience (June 19- June 21) where practicing teachers learn Design Thinking by doing Design Thinking. Over the course of the workshop, you will learn to think and act as a designer to solve problems in key areas of education. Armed with a new mindset, you’ll be ready to incorporate Design Thinking into projects that will challenge your students to empathize with others and apply their knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems.

This is not your typical workshop - come ready to get busy and hands on! In small groups, you’ll tackle “wicked problems” through Design Thinking. Coupled with the challenge, you’ll learn key aspects of the process through collaboration, communication, and reflection.

Cost: Early Bird Pricing - $925 per person, ends April 17. (includes all workshop materials, morning refreshments each day and lunch each day)
