Professional Learning - Introduce Primary Students To Design Thinking.

Design Thinking is a process for creative problem solving, which uses a designer’s toolkit to find innovative solutions to big challenges. This course will walk you through the five stages of the Design Thinking process and help you find avenues to use it in the primary curriculum.

Visy is offering scholarships to our Introduce Primary Students To Design Thinking Course for educators working in Visy's network of local government councils.
