Going Deeper: Design Thinking Toolkit

Method Cards

Are you interested in learning more problem-solving techniques using design thinking?  The Design Kit website: Methodcards shows different methods you could try out.  Many of the courses offered through the Institute of Indigenous Learning at Fanshawe College utilize these tools in the learning process. This compilation is an active toolkit to support your design thinking practice.

The guide is not just to read – go out and try these tools yourself. In the following pages, we outline each mode of a human-centred design process and then describe dozens of specific methods to do design work. These process modes and methods provide a tangible toolkit supporting the seven mindsets — shown on the following page – that are vital attitudes for a design thinker.
