This is an important talk about how A (art) is often forgotten when people talk about the core subjects of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics that often provide a gateway to higher level jobs.

Design Thinking has the power to create positive change in what are otherwise out-dated, or cumbersome, methods of working. Often, our educational system is critiqued to be old and out-dated. This is why I am so happy that one of my favorite design firms, IDEO, has created this critical resource for Educators, http://designthinkingforeducators.com. I’m excited to see the results of this site and the various ideas that come out of the process.
