Strongly used in the industry, especially in the technological innovation sector and by companies that aim to respond to the various needs of their customers, Design Thinking has become popular as a way of thinking and acting on complex challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasingly, the principles and practices of Design Thinking occupy space in education, in line with several of the active learning methodologies, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/solvefortomorrowlatam.com\/en\/connected-education\/project-based-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Based Learning<\/a> and Problem Based Learning, assuming transdisciplinary and student protagonism and <a href=\"https:\/\/solvefortomorrowlatam.com\/en\/entry\/collaboration-project-based-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">collaboration<\/a> as elements \u2014 process key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design Thinking: History and applicability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"explaining\">\n    <div class=\"explaining__text\">\n        <p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interaction-design.org\/literature\/article\/design-thinking-get-a-quick-overview-of-the-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interaction Design Foundation<\/a> presents, it is impossible to specify exactly who created or structured the Design Thinking methodology, since it was developed over time and by many hands, in a fruitful collaboration between various areas. of knowledge. As late as the 1960s, German professor and researcher <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Horst_Rittel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Horst Rittel<\/a> wrote and spoke extensively on the topic of problem-solving through design (or design), coining the term <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wicked_problem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cwicked problems\u201d<\/a> to refer to complex problems that would require multiple forms of thinking and distinct and varied knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <aside class=\"explaining__box -blue -full\">\n        <h5>\n                        Design Thinking e Educa\u00e7\u00e3o STEM        <\/h5>\n                <p>\u201cDesign thinking is a practice that helps facilitators and students learn and lead in new ways. The design thinking process goes hand in hand with STEM education. Leveraging design thinking allows us to come together to generate creative, energizing, and tangible solutions to complex problems.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211; Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Toolkit<\/p>\n            <\/aside>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Scientist and Nobel Prize winner <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Herbert_A._Simon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Herbert A. Simon<\/a> is also credited with a set of theoretical foundations published throughout the 1970s that strongly influenced Design Thinking, including the idea of rapid <a href=\"https:\/\/solvefortomorrowlatam.com\/en\/entry\/prototype-stem-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prototyping<\/a> and observational testing. The 1980s, in turn, were marked by contributions that strengthened the theoretical bases and the functioning of the idea of thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/solvefortomorrowlatam.com\/en\/entry\/social-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complex problems<\/a> from the point of view of design. In this journey, design migrated from the academic field to the industry, as a way of favoring technological innovation. Companies began to systematize design thinking, demarcating stages, processes, and tools that strengthened the work and the relationship with their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Kelley, professor, and researcher at Stanford University, in California, then took up the theme for the Academy, founding the <a href=\"https:\/\/dschool.stanford.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
