Future Thinkers Year 9 Partnering with ABCN & Mitsubishi UFJ

02 Aug 2024

Our Year 9 Bashir class students participated in the Future Thinkers program that aims to build creative and innovative problem-solving skills through the process of design thinking.

Design thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation increasingly used by organisations to transform challenges into opportunities. Research on the future of work indicates that these problem-solving, critical thinking and judgement skills are key transferable enterprise skills for the Australian workforce to remain competitive and thrive in a rapidly changing global economy.

Future Thinkers involves small groups of students working with mentors in teams to create solutions to a problem using the design thinking methodology, and at the end of the session the students present their results.

A huge that you to ABCN for facilitating this opportunity and the wonderful mentors from Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group for sharing their own career journeys, challenges and collaborating with our students as they learned and applied the process of design thinking. This makes an enormous impact as students consider their options for the future whilst building valuable career skills.
