AIdea: Responsible use of AI in Design Thinking Practice and Teaching

<< Objectives >>AIdea empowers students and educators to integrate Generative AI (GenAI) into design thinking responsibly. The project enhances AI literacy, creativity, and problem-solving while ensuring human skill development. It provides students with structured AI learning experiences and equips educators with AI-driven teaching tools. AIdea also fosters a sustainable educator network, policy recommendations, and digital learning resources to promote long-term adoption of AI in design education.<< Implementation >>AIdea develops a Student Guide on how to use AI in design thinking, a Teacher Toolkit for AI-enhanced instruction, and a Manifesto & Policy Brief to guide responsible AI use. Activities include educator training bootcamps, classroom pilots, video tutorials, and stakeholder engagement. The project builds an AIdea Educator Ambassador Network and an eTwinning community to support ongoing peer learning and knowledge-sharing.<< Results >>AIdea delivers five key results:1: Student Guide – Practical exercises on AI use in design thinking.2: Teacher Toolkit – AI-driven exercises for deliberate practice in design teaching.3: Manifesto & Policy Brief – Guidelines for responsible AI integration in education.4: Educator Ambassador Network – A peer-learning community for AI in design education.5: Video Tutorials – Scalable digital training for educators on AI-enhanced design learning.
