Design thinking methodology
Identify a problem or opportunity for improvement
E – Empathize, engage with real people, observe
D – Define the problem
I – Ideate, identify possible solutions
P - Prototype
T - Test

The topic…
Okinawa is a significant outlier in STEM educational achievement, compared to other prefectures.
Everyone we spoke too was concerned about this.
Data provided by junior high school teacher during interview (Feb 2014)

Problem statement
Who: Children in Okinawa
What: Achieve higher performance in STEM educational assessments
Why: STEM is seen as a key contributor to economic and social development

Feedback (as told by real teachers, parents & students)
“Scientists are extremely clever, I could never do that”
“If I study science, it’s not clear what job I can get”
“I don’t really know what scientists do”
“Education achievement can’t be de-coupled from other factors (e.g. high divorce rate)”
“Children are too busy, suffer from fatigue”
“Cultural differences…More relaxed attitude, less competitiveness, aggression, drive”
“There are few science or hi-tech jobs in Okinawa”

The idea – Science Activity Centre
“Fun” “Projects workspace”
“Real daily
science & scientists”

The ideaScience activity centre
A) “Wonder museum”, short-term visitors, tourist attraction
=> Get people hooked
=> Funding
B) STEM workspaces & education zones; repeat visitors
=> Education & development
C) Exposure to working researchers & running labs=> Juxtapose with OIST
=> Demystify science daily work

Existing facilities (1)
Chura Umi, Ocean Expo park
Visit, 9.3.2014
Objective – Observe…What is available for hands-on experiments/project work?
How many tourists?
How many kids?
![Page 16: Kyued Up STEM](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062705/557022d0d8b42aa8558b4b93/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hands on experiments?
Extremely beautiful & informative displays, but not much in terms of hands-on or project work

Tourists? Children?
わ
- Early March, but still plenty of visitors
- Counted 1 row of cars, 90% were rentals (presumably tourists)
- Lots of kids; seemed to be a high proportion of very small kids (<2 years old)
