Design thinking Launch framework for schools
This short video by John Spencer introduces the LAUNCH Cycle, a student-friendly design thinking model that empowers young people to creatively solve real-world problems. It walks through each phase of the process, from sparking curiosity and asking questions, to prototyping, iterating, and sharing with an authentic audience. The LAUNCH Cycle is a flexible, hands-on approach that can be applied across subjects and year levels, making it a powerful tool for developing leadership, empathy, and problem-solving skills in students.
