The Design Education group provides innovative services centred around understanding and implementing the value of design-led cultural change in education. Our experts provide opportunities for design education across all levels (such as school-based as well as continuing professional education) in a customised, effective, and flexible manner.
In particular, there are three key areas of service:
- Professional development for both current and pre-service teachers, providing current design thinking theory and practice, as well as opportunities to connect with the university community.
- Design thinking services for classroom implementation, allowing transdisciplinary education services in conjunction with experts from the QUT Faculties of Business, Science and Engineering, and Education.
- Design thinking consultancy services that provide engagement opportunities for all levels of educators, such as: short courses, master classes, seminars, workshops, and so on.
