The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Unit along with the Science Studio, as part of the Educational Research and Development program of A. M. Qattan Foundation, invite you to participate in our Training Program for Design Thinking. The program focuses on incorporating the philosophy of design thinking in the development of interactive scientific exhibits, and the stages of Ideation, Research, Prototyping, and Evaluation.
The program consists of a number of interactive sessions, both intellectually and artistically stimulating. We will host discussion sessions regarding the integration of art and science as well as plan for visits to art and science museums and exhibitions. Readings on related matters will be recommended, and speakers (artists, professionals, academics, exhibit developers, researchers, etc.) will be invited to share their experience and expertise in the development of ideas and projects.
