Students from Hüseyin Yıldız Anatolian High School Produced Creative Solutions: Design Thinking Workshop Organized
Students from Hüseyin Yıldız Anatolian High School experienced creative thinking, teamwork, understanding user needs, and developing innovative solutions within the scope of the "Design Thinking Workshop."
The "Design Thinking Workshop" was organized by the Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Istanbul Gelişim University, on May 5, 2026, with the participation of students from Hüseyin Yıldız Anatolian High School. The event was held to contribute to the development of students' creative thinking skills, to experience problem-solving processes, and to introduce them to the engineering perspective in a practical way.
Within the scope of the workshop, students worked on the basic stages of the design thinking approach, namely understanding user needs, defining the problem, generating ideas, and developing solutions. In the activities conducted in teams, students evaluated different perspectives, developed common ideas, and created innovative solution proposals.
The Design Thinking Workshop enabled students to focus not only on technical knowledge but also on skills such as empathy, analytical thinking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. In this respect, the workshop effectively introduced students to the human, process, system, and solution-oriented nature of Industrial Engineering. Throughout the event, students saw that engineering problems can be addressed not only through numerical analysis but also through innovative approaches that center on user needs. The Industrial Engineering
Department of Istanbul Gelişim University supports high school students in gaining awareness of the engineering profession and experiencing the university environment firsthand through such interactive workshops.
