Tucker Viemeister, FIDSA | Design = Realizing (Part 1)

IDSA Northeast Design Dialogue Conference
Philadelphia, PA
04.13.12

About the Talk: Design thinking is not new. Learning through doing is the essence of progressive education. Friedrich Froebel, Caroline Pratt, John Dewey, Rowena Reed, and even in his own way, Timothy Leary were basically encouraging children to practice design, realize what’s going on, then make it better. What’s special about design is that we try to understand the situation then make real things, in short: realize.
