The Elements of Design Thinking Trading Cards
by andreayip
As a quick follow up to my previous post on the Elements of Design Thinking, I wanted to share some ‘trading cards’ of the elements that I hope will help stimulate thinking, discussion and development of the Table. To me, the most useful way of being able to understand the relationships and relevance of the listed elements is to play around with them, re-arrange them, add new ones, and take away others. Feel free to print off the pages, cut out the cards and play around with them.
I’d love to hear what you come with up!

It would be possible for you to make a short description of each element giving an example of each card in any context. Or the card are just for philosphical discussions?
Thank you
Hi There, I am working on developing those definitions/descriptions. I think it will give the Elements much more context and substance and will happily post as they get developed. In the meantime, I would suggest writing down definitions on the back of the cards and sharing if you’re feeling up for it…that’s what I’m hoping to do.

What a great tool for my Design & Problem Solving classroom! Thank you for creating and sharing!
Thanks so much
I’m glad to hear this is helpful for your work and I also welcome any feedback on the use of these materials/concepts in the classroom as I hope to continue prototyping these tools!
