A session on Design Thinking was conducted on 8 October 2026 by AR. Linden Patrao, Architect and Design Educator, and Surekha Noronha in collaboration with DQ Labs Private Limited, Bengaluru for classes X to XII. The session explored Problem-solving, creativity, questioning, and critical thinking through the principles of Design Thinking.

The session encouraged participants to reflect on their ability to solve problems, ask questions, think critically, and distinguish between knowing an answer and understanding how to think. It also emphasized that the first answer is not necessarily the best one. A riddle about a man asking for a glass of water illustrated the importance of thinking differently and looking beyond the obvious.

The session introduced Design Thinking as a tool for everyday problem-solving and demonstrated that creativity extends beyond artistic ability. It involves asking meaningful questions, challenging assumptions, exploring possibilities, testing ideas, and refining solutions. Overall, participants were encouraged to think differently and think like designers.
