Design: Student Orientation

"Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things."

— Theodore Levitt

The students of Grade 6 and 7 endured a Design orientation session to get a first-hand understanding of the subject. Design is the link between innovation and creativity. Inquiry and problem solving are the  heart of this subject group.

The importance of the design cycle as a tool which enables the students to investigate the problem, plan for solutions, create and evaluate the solutions was emphasised upon.

Apart from subject outline, the students were updated on the importance of the subjects’ Digital design, Food design and Fashion design which fall under the umbrella of the subject ‘Design’. Thus kick starting a year loaded with lots of new learning and excitement.
Students speak …
I really enjoyed the Design Orientation as it is a subject I have never been exposed to. All the teachers have interesting activities planned for the year. I am really looking forward for all the 3 subjects this year.

The subject Design is very interesting and new subject that will help us learn about new things but also will expose our creativity in various ways.
