How design thinking can transform your children's creativity

According to Al-Taweel, creative learning is the organic and spontaneous process we all experience at different stages of our lives when trying to achieve a goal. It unlocks our abilities and, once achieved, leaves us with a strong desire to experience it again. Children go through this same process: they try to accomplish big goals and ideas daily, despite limited abilities and resources – that’s the design thinking process at work. Through her research at the Qatar Children’s Museum, Al-Taweel developed creative informal methods to help kids develop their brains early through the use of design thinking. “We do not want to change the way children think, innovate, or explore new things,” she says. “We seek to prepare and support them to tackle global challenges facing our world.”
