What did you learn about we are doing in this studio for the semester?  

In this Education Technology and Design Thinking class, we are collaborating with LCCS students and design projects for Earth Day. I am excited about meeting them and sharing creative thoughts together.

Did anything stand out as something that you like/dislike?

From the first class, I think the workshop of closing my eyes and think for a moment about my latest experience with water is very useful. By using this way, I can easily calm down and think about what can we do to contribute to Earth Day. I also enjoyed the process of building a prototype quickly and I remember Seymour said: “Education has very little to do with the explanation it has to do with engagement.”

What did you learn about Design Thinking?

As a graphic designer, we use design thinking method for all of our projects. We always find a problem first, we analyze the problem, do research about it then sketch and prototype our solutions.
