Creative Thinking and Design

Creative Thinking and Design is a dynamic course designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge to become innovative thinkers and problem solvers in the modern world. It cultivates a mindset that embraces creativity, encourages experimentation, and promotes collaboration across disciplines. Students explore the fundamental principles of creative thinking and how to overcome barriers to innovation, then apply design thinking to real-world challenges. In the second half, students participate in hands-on workshops exploring technologies such as robotics, 3D printing, or UX/UI design. The course culminates in integrative group projects where students design and develop innovative solutions and present their ideas persuasively.
