Prototyping for Success: A Hands-On Design Thinking Workshop

As part of the University Library System's Reading Challenge 2025, we are organising a workshop titled "Prototyping for Success: A Hands-On Design Thinking Workshop." This session aligns with the Week 3 theme "Entrepreneurship and the Future of Work" by focusing on creativity, collaboration, and innovation as essential skills for the modern workplace. The workshop offers a Do-Learn, hands-on experience where participants will engage in the Marshmallow Challenge, a well-known activity used in business, education, and team-building contexts to demonstrate the principles of design thinking, prototyping, and active learning. Through this challenge, students will experience how teamwork, planning, experimentation, and flexibility contribute to successful problem-solving.
