Why is design thinking important?

Firstly, Bursting the myths, Design thinking is not only for designer. Yes! It is used by designer very prominently but every artist, professional, writer or anybody has used design thinking in their process.

Design thinking is basically a process of understanding the problem or need of user, observing their behavior, handling challenges, create strategies and make solutions for the same. It is a solution-building approach that involves observation, innovation and details.

If we had to lay down the basic processes involved then, first Understanding the problem or need, secondly defining the problem, third ideating the approaches of solutions, fourth prototype of the solution and finally test the solution.

So, this clearly defines that design thinking is not only for designers but is involved in every profession and even to have a solution to real life problems.

This is especially very important for children to learn at a young age to create a solution centric approach, create mindset, observation abilities and attention to details. These skills will help them build a better personality.

It is said, learning to learn is one of the most essential arts. And design thinking caters to it efficiently. When children learn Design thinking they also understand the art of learning. It helps them gain a better understanding and optimally use their learnings.

Hence, it is one of the most required skills, and helps most in building a competent personality of children.
