This project aims to provide an innovative, modular teaching programme on “Design Thinking for AI” (DT4AI) for European University educators. The programme empowers educators to deliver student-centred, problem-based courses that cultivate competencies in AI-driven problem solving, rapid prototyping and effective teamwork. By integrating this programme into existing curricula, we address critical gaps in AI education and promote structured approaches to solving organisational challenges.

With the DT4AI programme, we will develop comprehensive teaching materials—including lecture slides, notes, a handbook on best practices and course integration, and domain-specific case studies across manufacturing, finance and healthcare. Additional activities include creating video-based training modules and an accessible knowledge base. These resources will equip educators to teach DT4AI in a practical, structured way, helping learners to apply DT and AI skills to real-world challenges.

By providing comprehensive teaching materials, digital modules and domain-specific case studies, this project will empower European educators to integrate "DT4AI" into their curricula. Consequently, students will develop essential skills in problem solving, user research and prototyping. The project fosters academia-industry collaboration, bridges educational gaps and equips institutions with scalable tools to address real-world challenges through structured, innovative approaches.
