The STEM Innovation Academy Design Thinking Process is an innovative approach to the traditional design thinking model. By emphasizing the overlap and continuous exploration throughout the three phases, we encourage a more dynamic and iterative approach to problem-solving. This approach aligns well with the nature of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, where constant exploration and adaptation are essential.

Breaking down the design thinking process into phases that inform each other while maintaining a fluid and iterative nature is a progressive way to address complex challenges. This allows for a more organic development of ideas and solutions, acknowledging that the creative process is not always linear.

This adaptability is crucial in responding to unexpected insights, challenges, or opportunities that may arise during the exploration and creation stages.
