"HKDI inspire* Design Thinking 2018" Opening cum "SmART City by Children" Showcase and Sharing

HKDI endeavours to advance the application of Design Thinking as a transferable skill for solving problems of all kinds, hence rolling out an initiative entitled HKDI inspire Design Thinking 2018. The debut of HKDI inspire* Design Thinking 2018* was the Showcase and Sharing of SmART City by Children held on 26 August 2018 at our campus. In addition to showcasing 30 kids’ designed lamps, another 8 kids shared their versions of SmART City that goes beyond technology with a focus on human needs. This art and design project empowered children and teenagers to be future change-makers, and build a more sustainable and an inclusive city. The visual expression was both functional and aesthetic with empathetic considerations, demonstrating the potential design talents of the children. The Showcase and Sharing session was followed by a dialogue among the Chairman of the Design Council of Hong Kong Prof Eric Yim, Executive Director of Hong Kong Design Centre Dr Edmund Lee, President of Hong Kong Institute of Architects Mr Marvin Chen and Fellow Member and Former Chairman of Hong Kong Interior Design Association Mr Antony Chan and etc, to enlighten the next generation of Design Thinking.
