Impressive, ChatGPT 👏 "Design thinking is a creative problem-solving approach where you understand the problem, research, brainstorm, make something, and test it out to find a solution."

On Monday, Will and Lee from @sageuk delivered a fantastic workshop on UX Design, during which, pupils were able to design their own app and have a go at prototyping. There were many creative designs and lots of great teamwork! Well done to all who attended!

Absolutely loved volunteering at my first @designclub @CoderDojo, Manchester last Sunday. After being inspired by the output and creative energy of the kids who joined us, I've been pondering the question - when did we stop drawing? 🤔 kjbottomley.myportfolio.com/…
