Design Thinking in Action
Design thinking is a central pillar of our educational approach at Acorn Training. By weaving this process into our programmes, we equip students with a structured yet flexible framework for innovation. The design thinking cycle begins with empathising, where learners are encouraged to consider the needs, challenges and perspectives of real users. This human-centred focus ensures that problem-solving is grounded in real-world relevance.
From there, students move to the definition phase, clearly identifying the core problems they want to solve. They then engage in ideation, generating a broad range of possible solutions, often using brainstorming and collaborative techniques to widen their creative scope. Next comes prototyping, where learners bring their ideas to life through tangible models using the Magic Bit kits. Finally, in the testing stage, they evaluate the success of their prototypes, reflect on feedback, and refine their designs accordingly.
This iterative and reflective approach not only encourages curiosity and resilience but also mirrors the workflow of engineers, designers and innovators in professional environments. By using design thinking, students do not just learn about technology—they learn to think like problem solvers, innovators and changemakers.
Optional AI Modules
At Acorn Training, we are committed to equipping students with future-ready skills. Our optional Artificial Intelligence (AI) components are thoughtfully designed to align with the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) AI for Fun initiative, ensuring that our learners receive education that is both current and relevant.
The AI for Fun programme, set to be introduced in 2025, offers primary and secondary students hands-on experiences in AI concepts such as Generative AI, smart robotics, and ethical considerations in AI usage. Similarly, our modules introduce students to foundational AI principles and natural language processing. Through interactive projects, students learn how AI systems process information, make decisions, and can be applied to solve real-world problems.
In line with IMDA’s emphasis on responsible AI, our curriculum also covers ethical issues, bias in algorithms, and the importance of data privacy. By embedding these AI modules into our STEM programmes, students gain essential digital fluency while engaging critically with emerging technologies.
