At the Hasso Plattner d-school Afrika at UCT, we believe in cultivating a design-led mindset to tackle contemporary challenges, identify opportunities, and craft innovative solutions. Our programme offerings empower students to think creatively and develop practical skills to thrive in today's complex world.
Students participating in Design Thinking Week work on real-world challenges provided and framed by a participating d-school project partner.
As the students learn and are exposed to the tools and processes of design thinking, they also apply these in coming up with solutions to the project partner’s identified challenges.
The aim of this is to cultivate the core design thinking mindsets and allow students to take this forward into their learning journeys in their respective fields.
In addition, the students participate in a competitive, African challenge and are exposed to real-world problems. This advances their critical thinking skills that are so crucial to solving some of the problems the continent faces today.
Dive into the world of design thinking and learn how to develop innovative, human-centred solutions in agile, multidisciplinary teams.
