Design Think is a tangible outdoor game to enhance the skill of ideation based on the fundamental of “making more novel combinations”.
What is ideation? Have you heard about Design Thinking? Ideation, in general, is generating ideas with a specific context in mind. Ideas could be anything, just anything, without any constraints. This is apart from how it can be further coupled with other skills to be a phenomenal out-of-the-box thinker. Other skills are to empathize, to define, to ideate, to prototype and to test.This kit is an attempt to enhance the third skill.How exactly did I think around to create this game?It started with understanding the space, ambiance, and tone of a classroom full of kids.
Restricted in terms of physical movement and competitive means intrinsically ambition driven
