Meet the Innovators: Design Thinking
In recent years, KOM Students have been inspired to showcase in exhibitions and parent visitation days their Design Thinking in education. While its principles have been employed in developed countries for decades, its potential impact in education in our country in the 21st century learning has recently risen to the forefront of educational research.
The Design Thinking process acts as a bridge between knowledge and invention. It provides students with a system with which they can manage their thinking. Using this process, students learn to operate inside complexity, to find their way to simplicity and innovation as they learn to address real-world issues.

- Ideation: students exercise their thinking and build on the ideas others, and courageously push the boundaries of predictable thinking.
- Prototype and Test: Students design and build low-tech solutions and then participate in feedback sessions embedded in growth-mindset language.
