International Design Olympiad

International Design Olympiad (IDO) is the platform for young minds to embark on a Creative Journey to explore the applications of knowledge gained in school and apply it to solve real world challenges.

Students from 5th Grade to 10th Grade, independent of school board, can participate. International Design Olympiad consists of 3 rounds where the students have an opportunity to express their creative hunger!

Virtual Course on Creative Confidence

Virtual Course on Creative Confidence

Creativity is essential for the 21st Century in every field and occupation. It is inherent to all of us and must be cultivated.
Managers, owners, entrepreneurs, businessman and employers are always looking for creative and innovative people to come aboard on their team.
In order for the students to have the right foundation to be future-ready, students must be introduced to the creative mindset at a young age.

Through this course, students will learn to develop a mindset of creativity and its application in the real world.

Design Thinking Workshops

Design Thinking Workshops

In nature, a given challenge is full of opportunities. If we are looking for one solution we will get just one. On the other hand if we explore with an open mind, we may find multiple solutions and choose the best, based on the need. A solution-based approach is a mindset which can be delivered through design thinking processes. A workshop on design thinking would answer the following questions...

What is design thinking? Who should use design thinking? Why should we use design thinking? Where should we use design thinking? How is it useful?

Design Derivatives, as an institution, inspires students to build Creative Confidence through Design and Design thinking!

Design Derivatives has setup ecosystem for students that encourages curiosity, empathy, imagination, innovation, giving young minds to work in collaboration and respecting individual differences.

Today’s school-going children will be the citizens of a world, which will be completely different than it is today. Careers, which do not even exist today, will rule the world tomorrow. The information and knowledge gained today may become obsolete when our children step into their professional lives.

In order to embrace this uncertainty we have to prepare our young citizens with Creative Confidence. Creative confidence is a combination of:

  1. Knowledge from school

  2. Experience from society

  3. Imagination of the child

Creative Confidence will help change the child’s attitude towards learning and brings a positive impact during the concept-building stage. Creative confidence is a mindset that should be introduced at an early age and practiced during the school years! The International Design Olympiad (IDO) is one such part of the ecosystem that addresses the said need, which is age appropriate!

Design Derivatives also provides creative ecosystem through workshops and incubation platform.
