2DESIGN THINKING TOOLS1. Overview Design thinking process is referred to as a tool rather advanced technology that is widelyused by different designers to reduce the rate of complexity associated to different innovation.For this particular research the nominated topic is “Design of an android application forpromoting creative skills of 8-16 year olds using design thinking”.
