On May 13-15, as part of the Curiosity Maker Space project, we brought a high-class speaker on design thinking, and conducted a free 3-day course for teenagers (12-18 years old).<\/p>\n

\u2757\ufe0f This is a very cool course. Our speaker is Chokan Nukushev, in the past \u2014 the country coordinator of the Social Impact Award international program of social entrepreneurship (the largest in Europe among youth), as well as the coordinator of the \u201cDesign-Thinking Workshop\u201d educational program in schools in Almaty and Atyrau.<\/p>\n

Participation is free of charge. The course was held at the Center for Advanced Technology.<\/p>\n

Why do young people need design thinking? To develop curiosity, creativity, critical thinking skills and coming up with interesting solutions to various problem situations. No standard solutions like \u201cwe always did this way\u201d…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The basis of the design thinking methodology (invented at Stanford University) is always a human (Human-Centered Design). In the course, the participants will learn how to come up with ideas not \u201cjust to tick the box\u201d, but so that they can really help people. They will learn to find out what people need here and now, and they will learn to \u201cturn\u201d problems into opportunities.<\/p>\n

2\u20e3 We study and research the audiences we want to help. How to conduct interrogation? How to read survey data? Learn to draw up mental maps for a better understanding of problems (+ homework)<\/p>\n

On the first day of the master class, we explored the space around the Center for Advanced Technologies, learned to observe, notice something interesting.<\/p>\n
