Einstein was known for saying insanity is doing the same thing over an over and expecting different results! Solving today’s most wicked problems requires a “different” approach to solving problems – one that requires “falling in love with the problem” before using creative skills to ideate novel solutions. In this special session, students will be introduced to the idea of changemaking through social innovation and the use of design thinking. We will explore the engaging journey of moving ideas into action by leveraging our empathy and creativity skills and collaborating with critical thinking at the center.
