D&D: Developing an Afterschool Program for Collective Design Thinking with Diverse Media

• In Event: Roundtables Thur1
  In Roundtable Session: D&D - Roundtables Thur1

Short Description

We propose an afterschool program developed for collective design thinking with using different new media, such as Minecraft, Colearnr, and Lego. Design thinking is critical to enhance ability of thinking more creatively and systemically. For developing the club activities, we use the constructivist principles (Shimoda, White, Borge, & Frederiksen, 2013). We argue that learners learned how to use and create their work by using new media within design thinking process.
