Overview

Design Thinking gives students the opportunity to develop skills to be successful in a range of different fields—including designing, architecture, engineering, and business. Students will learn to understand the end-users, question hard-set assumptions, and redefine problems.

Student Experience

Activities emphasize creating innovative solutions and testing them for tackling complex, unknown challenges. Students will participate in prototyping, robotics, mentorships, and internships.

At CCPA we believe in the Design Thinking Process. We encourage students to approach any issues or problems they encounter in their academic career with the Design Thinking Process. We believe that equipping students with this process will greatly enhance their future success in college, career, and beyond.
