DTI 2023 will run from Tuesday, June 20 to Friday, June 23. Each day will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end around 4:30 p.m (PDT). On Friday, we end a little earlier (3:30 p.m.) to allow for travel plans.

Institute Overview

The Nueva Design Thinking Institute (DTI) is our annual summer institute dedicated to sharing design thinking practices and processes with other educators.

We welcome all educators interested in incorporating design thinking, or aspects of design thinking, into their teaching practice as well as those who are already using design thinking and want to further deepen their practice. Participants will gain and deepen their understanding of how to create design thinking curricula that foster creative and innovative problem solving skills.

Space is limited so please register all group members at the same time. If purchasing tickets for multiple participants, kindly note that you are able to add/edit their names once your purchase is complete. We ask that each attendee complete the registration form as it inquires about food allergies and accommodations, emergency contact, etc.
