SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE DESIGN CHALLENGE –
PART 2: PROTOTYPING
Workshop
Room G02
10:45-12:00
Can we imagine how schools of the future will overcome the
problems facing our students today? In these two-part
interactive sessions, facilitators from IDEO, the innovative
design thinking firm, will lead teams through a design challenge
to think through how we could we maximize the impact on
schools of the future. Participants will ideate and prototype
throughout the two sessions, and the ideas raised during the
workshop will be shared with the WISE community at large for
others to build on. By the end of the second session, teams will
have early prototypes that can inspire our collective thinking
about the future of schools.
The first session of the workshop takes place on NOV 4,
11:30-12:45, Room G02.

Youth unemployment is particularly acute in the MENA
region. How can we bridge the gap between what
employers need and the skills students are learning?
Should education systems partner with businesses in
designing the curriculum? Or should the systems focus
on promoting self-employment strategies and
entrepreneurship?
