Adhyayan School had successfully conducted first ‘Design Thinking Week’ for grade 3 to 5 from 1st to 6th Bhadra and for grade 6 and 7 from 22nd to 26th Bhadra under the supervision of mentors Sonam Singh, Suraj Tandukar, Sailesh Bataju and Kamna Thapa. Students were divided into six groups and each group was supervised by respective mentor to guide their own team. Students identified real life problems they are facing at school and home. Each team solved their own problem using the design thinking process, i.e. Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test, which allowed them to build some innovative solutions. Each team was able to create ideas and to build prototypes like mouse trap, combo self, re-design of sick room and its walls, mosquito net and awareness campaign to minimize consumption of junk food. They presented all the steps of design thinking process through PowerPoint slides and tested successfully.
