Also, to explore ways of communicating the design thinking and knowledge building concepts to students meeting them for the first time. Student teams using a design thinking methodology developed creative solutions which may have saved over 700 additional lives.

Students were figuratively “placed on deck” one minute after Titanic’s collision with an iceberg and given the problem; “How could more lives have been saved?” The aims of the study were to investigate the effect of combining the process and practices of design thinking with the principles of knowledge building on innovative idea generation.
