Our Design Process resources are designed to guide learners through a nonlinear and student-friendly approach to problem-solving.

Developed by Folio using the principles of design thinking, this resource introduces students to the essential steps of problem-solving through a simplified version of the design process - Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve.

Aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, this resource encourages learners to be creative and innovative as they explore sequential design thinking to define problems, explore possible solutions, and design/construct solutions.
Through this process, learners develop scientific inquiry skills and build curiosity, preparing them for future STEM endeavors. The messiness of the path is illustrated through a visual model, emphasizing the imperfect process of problem-solving. This resource can be used in various ways to explore the core concept of innovation and the importance of problem-solving in real-world scenarios.

We at Folio believe in the power of design thinking to create meaningful and impactful learning experiences. Our team of experienced educators and designers worked together to develop this resource, incorporating design thinking principles such as empathizing with the user, defining the problem, ideating, prototyping, and testing to ensure a user-friendly and effective solution for learners.

Whether you are a student or an educator, our Engineering Design Process resource provides a comprehensive and engaging framework to approach real-world problems in a creative and innovative way.

Included Resources:

• Design Process Level 1
• Design Process Level 2
• Design Process Practice

These resources are available in Spanish variants!
