HOW CAN WE INCORPORATE DESIGN THINKING
INTO DARTMOUTH'S CURRICULUM AND CULTURE?
At Dartmouth, we write a lot, and nothing is harder than starting an essay. Students procrastinate for fear of “bad” ideas. Writer’s Block is a set of three games designed to spark creative ideas quickly and collaboratively, through Design Thinking methods baked into gameplay.
Each game builds on the last, leaving players with new insights and ideas for further writing. This is an accessible and fun addition to any writing curriculum, and we plan for teachers, students, peer-tutors, and writing centers alike to be able to spark joy in essay creation with Writer’s Block.
