Presentation slides
This presentation introduces a classroom approach in which AI supports Design Thinking without replacing student creativity or decision-making.
The central idea is that AI should act as a collaborative and mediated partner — helping students explore perspectives, articulate ideas and iterate — while students remain responsible for the core thinking and creative choices.
The presentation also introduces role-based AI agents designed for specific stages of the process, including the Empathy Persona, Student Design Buddy and Facilitator Coach.
Collaboration, not automation
AI supports the creative process rather than producing the final solution.
Preserving student agency
AI contributions remain optional, negotiable and reversible.
Role-based AI support
Different AI agents support different stages of Design Thinking.
Structured prompts & constraints
Clear roles, tasks and limits help make AI predictable and pedagogically useful.
Simulates an end-user perspective so students can practise interviewing and empathy.
Helps students clarify and articulate their own ideas without generating final solutions.
Supports the teacher by clustering ideas, identifying patterns and summarising group work.
We believe meaningful learning happens when people connect, explore and create together. NEXUS brings people, places and ideas together to experiment, learn from one another and turn real-world challenges into opportunities for learning and action.
