C8: Design Thinking and Innovation

Aim:
 To spot and write down three real-life problems that could be improved with better ideas.

Requirements:

  • Notebook or worksheet

  • Pen or pencil

  • Time to observe school/home/neighborhood areas

Steps:

  1. Observe areas in school, home, or the community.

  2. List 3 problems that you think affect people. (Examples: too much noise in class, dirty playground, no place to hang bags.)

  3. Discuss with classmates or in groups—Which problem is most important to solve? Why?

  4. Choose one that you’d like to work on in future lessons.

Working of the Activity

This activity helps train your brain to be a problem-spotter—someone who notices what can be better. Once you know what the problem is, you’re ready to find solutions.
