The Education Innovation Lab uses a ‘human-centred design’ approach popularized by the design group, IDEO. This method encourages the use of empathy skills to take the perspective of ‘users’ when thinking about new solutions to address problems or capitalize on opportunities.
The videos below provide an introduction to key social innovation concepts. Teachers participating in the Education Innovation Lab can also attend an in-person workshop that focuses on the human-centred design approach, led by the Lab’s Innovation Coach, Carrie Wright.
