2025LHRICTechExpo

This session equips 21st-century learners and educators with an understanding of the past, present, and future of humanities education by integrating AI and design thinking to enhance creativity and collaboration. As education evolves rapidly, AI serves as an assistive technology that supports brainstorming, generates adaptive feedback, and fosters imaginative problem-solving. Through project-based learning and the IDEO Design-Thinking framework (EDIPT), students explore how a designer’s purpose—akin to an author’s purpose—drives real-world change. By leveraging AI to enhance iteration and meaning-making, this approach fosters purposeful creation, ensuring curriculum development keeps pace with modern learning while preparing students for future challenges.
