In schools from Singapore to San Francisco to Copenhagen, designers worldwide are on a mission to teach non-designers how to use new methods of creative problem solving. Enthusiasts say that recreating education around principles of “design thinking” is the essential first step toward building “World 3.0” – a life of health, equity and creative fulfillment for 10 billion people, sustainable on the resources of one planet. Is this hope or hype?
