We know why schools need to change. We just don't always know how. In this video we share the trailer to a new documentary launching in Summer 2022. We discuss how we can use design thinking practices as one approach to design schools, that provide students with the knowledge, skills and mindsets to innovate, create new products, services and business models so that they thrive in future workplaces and as global citizens.

Overview
Design39 in San Diego California wanted to define and design a new grammar of school with a vision to create life ready thought leaders who elevate humanity. To do this they utilized design thinking, a human-centered framework. This documentary is an extension of the research examining their practices. Through a survey and interviews with their educators, called Learning Experience Designers we learned about their knowledge and motivation to integrate design thinking into the curriculum, how the organizational culture supports them and what best practices can be learned to scale this work.
