• Resumen

  • Education in America can benefit from innovation. Inventive thinking from a diverse array of people and experiences canhelp redefine and reinvent this important public mission. Hackathons are collaborative, short sprints that offer suchcollaboration opportunities. While usually coding marathons, hackathon-type events like the Education DesignShop havebeen developed to address broad, systemic issues, tools, and processes from design thinking. Two research questions areexplored:How do non-designers transform into design thinkers?andHow do educational projects address systemic changes?The Education DesignShop introduced new ways to collaborate and form sustainable solutions. Eight key structuralcomponents are identified around just-in-time modules teaching design thinking in an educational context. Projects fromthe Education DesignShop show a larger number of designerly attributes and are farther along Anderson’s Continuum ofSystemic Change. Policy implications suggest ways to support further propagation of design thinking to address problemsaround education.
