Meeting the Challenges of STEM education in K-12. Education through Design Thinking: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1299969.pdf, Table 2. Comparison of d.school, HPI, and IDEO design thinking approaches considering Brown’s design thinking approach
Three dominant DT methods are commonly employed within education:
Stanford's d.school approach (since 2005) consists of five stages: Empathy, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test
Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) approach (since 2008) has six stages: Understand, Observe, Point of View, Ideate, Prototype, Test
IDEO's approach (since 2012) includes five stages and a zero-step: Define a Challenge, Discovery, Interpretation, Ideation, Experimentation, Evolution.
All three Design Thinking (DT) approaches have similarities with Brown's method.
