Design Thinking

At the Design Thinking Initiative (DTI) we bring design methods, creative problem-solving, and hands-on making into the Smith experience.

When we design and build things with our own hands, something powerful happens—we develop real confidence in our abilities and a stronger sense of how we can make a positive impact on the world.

In a world where we’re constantly consuming things other people have made, we help you become someone who creates and contributes. This is what Smith is all about: preparing you for a life where you make a real difference.

Where heads, hearts, and hands come together to explore, create, and play!

At the Design Thinking Initiative (DTI), we learn through making and transforming our worlds through design.
