I was recently reading the January/February 2022 issue of \u201cScience & Children\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the section, \u201cEditor\u2019s Note,\u201d written by Elizabeth Barrett-Zahn.\xa0\xa0She wrote an article entitled, \u201cDesign Thinking.\u201d\xa0

Design Thinking is a solution-based technique used to solve problems.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0The basics of Design Thinking are:

Empathize - consider others\u2019 needs, not just solve the problem

Define - define the problem and create a meaningful and actionable problem statement

Ideate - encourage innovation through brainstorming

Prototype - identify and develop the best solution through multiple iterations

Test - evaluate prototypes and consider improvements
