Anthology "Design Thinking in Education: Innovation can be learned"


Design thinking has long been established as a powerful approach to innovation that can help tackle complicated problems and steer change in all areas of life. The reports of many scholars in the new anthology, based on both theory and practice, show how great the potential of design thinking is in education as well. They present innovative educational approaches in a variety of fields, illuminate them from different angles, and open up new perspectives for the education system to readers.

With its own HPI School of Design Thinking, founded in 2007, the Hasso Plattner Institute is Europe's leading hub in the field of design thinking. The book "Design Thinking in Education: Innovation kann man lernen" is published by the academic publisher Wiley-VCH and will be available in stores starting October 6. The editors of the anthology are Professor Christoph Meinel, Director of the Hasso Plattner Institute, and Dr. Timm Krohn, CEO of the HPI Academy, which specializes in continuing education in the field of design thinking.
