By the end of training, Fordham Fellows decided to focus on bringing Design Thinking to the broader Fordham community to foster more innovative problem-solving and inspire Fordham students to think outside of the box about issues that matter to them in their everyday lives.
The Fordham Fellows taught over <big><small><span style="color:#339966;"><span><span>'''16 hours of class time to over 600 students '''</span></span></span></small></big>at the Gabelli School of Business. The end goal of their workshop was to to gain feedback from the freshman student body in order to find a permanent place for Design Thinking in the core curriculum and recruit the 2019 fellows. It was important to expose students as earlier on as possinle so students would be able to better engage with innovation on campus and master the skills needed for day-to-day creative problem-solving in the real world.
From the workshop, the Fordham Fellows learned that students valued having the workshop be student-led, the hands on experience, and were able to understand the benefits and applications. With the succcess of the workshop, the Fordham Fellows were able to spark the conversation of changing the business core cirriculum to include Design Thinking.
