Design thinking, especially when introduced to the student early on, instills innovative and human centered mindsets that will only benefit the student in the future. There is a lot of gravity in the importance of and educator seeing himself as a facilitator, as a learner, a resource. This serves the purpose of the student becoming the co-creator of his/her learning experience and designing something viable for a pre-existing need without judgement. Design thinking classes will change the dynamic between student and teacher transforming them both as learners; it will also make the student an initiator, a better leader, and a more empathetic person overall.
